“Yulissa is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our four cats, two of which are quite elderly. Because of different dietary needs for each cat and medications the instructions are quite elaborate, but that was no problem for Yulissa. She is an excellent communicator, and she made sure to give as a daily update. We would be very happy to have her take care of our cats again!”

She goes above and beyond to make sure they are well looked after and follows up with plenty of pictures to make sure we know they are doing fine. We will 100% use her again and cannot recommend her highly enough”
About: I have been caring for cats for about 2 years and have gained experience providing them with the love, attention, and care they need. My family has trusted me to look after their cats while they were away, including checking in on them, feeding them, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they had plenty of playtime and affection. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they are playful, shy, or simply enjoy relaxing in their own space. I always take the time to make cats feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every cat as if they were my own by giving them patience, attention, and lots of love !
“Roy was INCREDIBLE! We had another sitter drop out last minute, and Roy came in and saved the day! We received amazing daily updates and could tell that our cat fell in love and made a new bestie. We will be 1000% using Roy in the future!”
“Maria is truly the best!! She has been spectacular with my two pups, both with very different needs and personalities! We have an older dog with medical needs and a firm personality and a younger pup that is high energy and low listening skills :) I cannot give a higher recommendation for Maria! She is kind, responsive, and most accommodating.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience working with Faye. We met Faye beforehand and we’re impressed with her ability to connect with our shy kitty right away. Faye was flexible with our schedule and followed our care instructions to a tee. We came home to a happy cat and couldn’t ask for more!”
“Thank you Ruby for doing such a great job caring for Dyango! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave our dog is such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks!”I highly recommend her”
“5-star rating for Chris! From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable in her abilities and seriousness to make our cat, Pearl, feel loved and well taken care of while we were out of town for a week. Her daily updates and photos of her visits put us at ease while we were away. She was referred on Rogers Park Neighborhood News FB page and lived up 100% to the recommendations and comments she received on that group!”
“Helped out very last minute for long term care of 2 cats. Great communication, reliable, and helpful. Great experience and would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.
“Heather is Amazing with our Fur babies!! She treats them both like her own :) I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur babies!! Thanks again so much for all your help!!”
About: I don’t have as much experience taking care of cats as I would like to, but I do occasionally care for my boyfriends cat! I feed him, clean his litter box and hang outside with him. I love them so much and am hoping to soon add one to my family at home!

“Thank you for having Addison over for a play date! Emily was easy to communicate with, accommodating to my schedule and send frequent status updates! Addison took a post play day nap within 10 mins of being home!”
“Dayana is always so quick to respond to bookings, despite last minute requests. She is always keeping me updated throughout using video. Kitty loves going over because there is usually others dog she can play with. So happy we found Dayana!”

“On very short notice, Ruben agreed to take care of our pup for the day when another sitter flaked out. 😑 He was glad to have Titus join the little pack of dogs at his house, and he made sure that Titus was comfortable around them. We had to push back our pickup time a bit, and Ruben was super understanding. It’s clear that there’s a reason why he has so many happy reviews and high ratings!”
“My pup has never gone an entire day without one of us over the last two and a half years (I know, I know) but Robby and Nikki were so patient with his anxiety and he had a really fun day. We just found his home away from home ☺️”
“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”
“Malchom and his family are the dog sitters you are looking for. He is on the spot with communication. The pictures I relieved of Fritz playing and resting with his children and the warm updates about walks left me feeling that he was exceptionally well taken care of which is of course a welcomed delight during a hard day of work. If you’re in the Oak Park area and in need of some doggy day care Malchom is the preferred choice.”
“It was super easy to schedule daycare with Lech & Briseida and they were really understanding when I was running late picking Nala up. Nala had a great time with them and came back tired :)”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
About: Having my own dog, I know first hand that dogs are precious family members who need a lot of love and care and, and each dog had different needs. I have had my own dog for 3 years and previously cared for many of my friends’ and relatives’ dogs. I have training experience having gone through classes with my own dog. I am excited to meet new dogs and make sure they are happy and healthy while in my care! I currently work from home and I can be flexible throughout the day Mon-Thurs , but evenings or early mornings work best for me. I can also be flexible on Fridays and weekends. I have a friendly dog who likes to play but also understands when other dogs need space. I can crate my dog or set up the baby gate to keep them separated if needed.
“Lee was responsive and sent many pics and videos. Her place is perfectly set up for dogs and her two pups were perfect new friends for our anxious little one. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“I had the pleasure of having Emily watch my beloved pup, Izzy, through Rover, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Emily's care and attention to Izzy were exceptional. She treated Izzy as if she were her own, and it was evident that she genuinely loves dogs. Emily also kept me updated with messages throughout Izzy's stay, which was a thoughtful touch that put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter. She provides a loving and safe environment for your furry family members, making it easy to enjoy your time away without any worries.”

About: I grew up with cats and have taken care of them my whole life, and I am now a full-time pet sitter! I have lived with dogs and done some care for them as well. I currently have a rabbit, rats, a frog, a gecko, and a jeweled lacerta, so I'm well-versed in pet care and in balancing multiple pets' needs! I am also experienced giving meds to rats, frogs, dogs, and cats, as well as caring for rabbits. I am a former librarian, but now I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of daytime availability to take care of your pets! I'm very careful to triple-check that I'm following all the instructions I am left. I never want to leave out an instruction, since you know your pets best! I always make sure to give pets as much love as they want, but if your cat is shy, I'll give them their space! Please inform me in advance if anybody will be in the home while I am there. This does not preclude me taking care of the pets, it is just informational. Thanks! I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of availability at all times of day, all week long. Just let me know what time you need and we'll make it work! I don't provide in-home services on Rover. However, my own pets get a lot of enrichment and as much attention as they want to have.
“Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I have about 8 years of experience caring for them. Growing up with my own dogs has taught me how to understand their personalities, routines, and the importance of providing them with patience, love, and attention. Over the years, I have also helped care for my family’s dogs when they needed someone they could trust while they were away. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, baths, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different and has their own needs, whether they love being active, playing, or simply relaxing with someone they trust. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog with the same care, kindness, and affection I would give my own ! I currently work a part-time job, but I am still able to provide reliable and loving care for your pets. I am happy to work around my schedule to make sure your furry friend receives the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I will always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my priority, and I want to make sure they feel happy and cared for ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in my home or visiting clients’ homes, I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for!

Jacqui was extremely clear, communicative, professional trustworthy, flexible, consistent and kind both during the booking and the week. Our dog, Max loved his walks (she took some great photos). We can’t wait to work with Jacqui again - she’s got a lifelong friend in Max and client in us!”
About: I am always the girl finding a dog and asking to pet them. As a kid, my sisters and I wished for a dog and that finally came true in 6th grade. Bailey was the best Christmas present and gifted us 14 beautiful years. Throughout that time, I’ve dog sat for a range of dogs (small, large, puppy and senior). Along with dogs, I am comfortable with cats. We have 2 orange cats of our own. I am available for walks, play dates and more. I am a teacher and have the summer off. I will be tutoring and will have a lot of flexibility during the week and would love to spend some time with your pets. I am very trustworthy and will take great care of your pets in your home. I love going for walks and playing with your pups or cats.
“Amanda helped me out when another dog walker flaked out and never showed when I was in EUROPE! I was scrambling to find someone and she was great! My mom let her in and she feed and walked my pups and gave me updates when their walks were over. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about Amanda. She was professional, joyful and kind. You can’t go wrong choosing her to care for your pets! ♥️😊🌟”
About: A young enthusiastic pet lover and doggy daycare manager for a pup daycare, who has worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds! One day I hope to build my own pet business and continue doing what I love. Im experienced in feeding, walking, bathing, exercising, and when needed medicating your pets when you're away. My clients are long time customers who I consider friends and I'd love to connect with you and your fur babies too! Monday - Friday I am avaliable at different times. Send me a message and hopefully we can work something out! Saturdays and Sundays I am avaliable from 8am until 8pm. Routines are super important for pets, if you don't have one I can create one for you and your fur baby that is specialized for them; that way you always know what to expect. I always ask for permission when it comes to treats, the rooms in the home that are off limits, and what animals can be with who/how many I can walk at a time.
“I felt really at ease and happy with Nicholas. This was the first time me using Rover and I was very pleased with the outcome and with Nicholas. Thank you!”
“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”
“Our regular dog walker was out for a week so we contacted Rosario. Not only was she happy to do a meet and greet, she was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous, shy dog. Our dog Dylan takes a VERY long time to warm up to new people, and Rosario spent more than our booked time coaxing her into going out for a potty break. She sent multiple videos and pics, and communicated with us through the whole process. I would recommend her 110%, she is an absolute angel.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I am especially comfortable with high-energy dogs and anxious dogs. I trained my family’s dogs many basic skills and have practice administering medications. I love all animals and would be honored to take care of yours! I’m currently in graduate school, looking for a part-time job; and would love to help take care of your pets! My current schedule is open for any day of the week, anytime. I am happy to feed, walk, crate, or simply play with your dog or cat! I am quite flexible and have stubborn dogs of my own, so I know all the tricks of getting pups to do what you need them to do.

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Christine was a very attentive sitter. She watched our two dogs for over a week and sent us at least 3-7 pictures and messages a day. Both of our dogs were happy when we picked them up and are tired from their fun week. We will definitely book with Christine again!”
