Highly-rated overnight sitters - South Park View
“Ebony and her family are amazing care givers! Not only is she responsive and communicates throughout the trip, but she also followed special feeding instructions for our pup. He had so much fun at Ebony’s house, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! We’ve already rebooked her for the future because we know that our Toby is well taken care of and loved while we are gone. We can’t recommend Ebony enough- she’s amazing!”
“I can’t recommend Crystal enough! When my regular sitter was unexpectedly unavailable, I was nervous about leaving my fur baby with someone new, especially since I was traveling internationally for 10 days. Crystal immediately put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet with her and her dog, beforehand, and she was very flexible with drop/pick up times. Overall she was an amazing sitter who really went above and beyond. She treated Bailey like her own and cared for him with love. It was clear from the pics and updates she sent that my baby was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Also, my dog got along great with her dog and the other visiting dog. They created a little “dog pack”, the pics were sooooo cute! . If you’re looking for a sitter that you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur baby, Crystal is the one!!”
“Reservé con Nelson el cuidado de mis mascotas por 7 días, realmente hizo un excelente trabajo, Kira y Linda fueron acogidas como suyas. Todos los días recibía fotos y vídeos de ambas donde se mostraban alegres. Gracias Nelson sin dudas volvería a contratarte para que cuides de mis mascotas.”
“Sydney had such a good time vacationing with Melody and her family - Melody sent us daily pictures and updates about how she was doing and I had no worries whatsoever the whole time we were away. She ate well and was given her insulin injections twice daily without any issues, which is a wonderful as sometimes she doesn't eat as well when she is staying away from home. I highly recommend Melody to anyone who needs a furry family member sitter and I certainly plan to be calling her again the next time Sydney plans a vacation.”
“Aspen was great with responding and providing details about her services. She was pleasant to talk to and Snoop was very comfortable with her. Her location was convenient to the airport and my boy was happy when we returned home. I will definitely request her services again!”
“Shunita was amazing!! It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and informative! Communication was great & I got videos daily, will definitely be using her again !!!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Beth, this time for a week, and it was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Beth sent frequent photos and updates and I knew our baby was in good hands. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup time. We will definitely be using Beth again!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Elizabeth and Phillip are great communicators and took care of Rosie while we were gone over the 4th of July. Its sweet to know she is well taken care of.”
“I am so pleased with the care that my FIVE fur babies received! (And the two Big ones, are Hoodlums!) I know how much work they take, as well as the eye drops and 4 medications; and she really earned her money! They ranged in weight from 9, 13, 60, 89, to 93 pounds! I highly recommend her, and will be using her for more visits to see my new Granddaughter !!”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“I was very, very happy with Lynne. She watched my dog, Buddy for 4 days, and sent pictures and updates every day. I could tell he was happy, and I was especially glad that she has an fenced in back yard, and that she let him on the furniture and her bed, because he's spoiled! I will definitely let him stay with her again. Great experience!”
“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”
“Lisi was one of our best experiences. Her and her guy did great with our pup, nice clean place, and communicated well. Our dog came home and was himself, which has not always been the case.”
“My maltese, Lily, stayed with Julie and her son. They were wonderful in every way! She sent me daily texts and cared for her like she would her own. Excellent experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Ryo was great with Piper. They provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. I could tell that Piper enjoyed himself as well, upon his return home. I will definitely refer Ryo to other friends and family looking for a sitter.”

Her attention to detail for our fur baby made us like her even more. This was our first time using Rover and she made the experience so simple and easy to trust. I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon D!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - South Park View
“Leslie was great with my cats. She took the time to gain their trust and I felt comfortable with her care for them. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos!”
“Brittney did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Ziggy. Brittney communicated well, with pictures and updates about Ziggy and our house (there were bad storms while we were away). Ziggy got lots of love, playtime, a clean litter box, and was well-fed everyday.”
“Allison did a great job taking care of our kitties! She is personable, professional, and very reliable. She left detailed notes of each visit that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her, do not hesitate to book her for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve spent my entire adult life caring for cats, and at this point I speak fluent meow. Whenever a partner was out of town, I handled all the drop‑ins—providing belly rubs (but only when Her Majesty permitted), play sessions, cleaned litter box, and always sure there is a full bowl of fresh food and water. In short: I make sure every sweet baby feel like the royalty they clearly are.
“Emmalea did a wonderful job checking in on our two cats while we were away for a short trip. Her communication with us was top notch, and I would definitely recommend Emmalea. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned home, and we knew that they were cared for well while we were away.”
About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends!
“Eleanor always takes the best care of our cat while we are away! I always used to stress about who was taking care of him while I was gone and constantly worried about how he was doing. While she has been our pet sitter for the last couple vacations all my worries have been gone! She takes the best care of him and I could not recommend her more!”
“Dawn is wonderful with my boys. She made every effort to befriend my very shy Finley. They are buds now and it took no time. Dawn is very knowledgeable with large dogs. She is also very dependable and communicates well when she is unavailable. WE LOVE HER!!”
“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”
“Kaitlyn did an absolutely amazing job. I would go as far as saying above and beyond. I think our house is actually cleaner than when we left it lol! She is very communicative, responsive, sends updates, professional, and an animal whisperer. One of our cats eats for NO ONE but us, and on the first night Kaitlyn was able to get him to eat. She also came over for a meet and greet so the cats would be more familiar with her which was great. 10/10 would give more stars if I could and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”

“I had such a great experience with Melody for doggy daycare! As a first-time Rover user, I really appreciated that she gave me a phone call before the booking - it put me at ease right away. Melody’s communication throughout the whole process was excellent! I got many pics of my little boy Charlie, it was clear that he had a blast. Also, her yard setup is awesome - spacious and secure! I’ll absolutely be using her services again soon when we’re on vacation and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.

I have complete open availability as I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your friend the full attention they may need. I'm skilled at understanding animal needs, and I'm well-prepared for whatever needs your friend requires. If there's any uncertainty on my end, I will prioritize timely communication with you about next steps.

I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with some snuggles. I believe dogs deserve companionship and stimulation, not long hours confined to a crate. When they’re in my care, they’ll stay active, engaged, and loved—chances are they’ll be happily worn out by the time you return!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was roughly 13 years old, and am also able to administer medications to animals. Family members, friends, and referrals/new friends have trusted me with their pets time and time again because I genuinely enjoy spending time with and taking care of their critters as if they’re my own! I also have experience with farm/unique animals like chickens, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, etc., and I have experience caring for epileptic dogs, as well as senior animals! I can ALWAYS promise to treat your babies like they’re my own, and to ensure they get the best of care. My availability is quite flexible, and I typically have the ability to run over and do house visits or walks as often as they are needed, and I’m able to provide housesitting services, too! I unfortunately am unable to host animals in my home due to rules against it (I’m a renter). I apologize in advance if this causes any kind of inconvenience. But I’m able to happily provide housesitting/petsitting services at my clients homes.

“Ebony and her family are amazing care givers! Not only is she responsive and communicates throughout the trip, but she also followed special feeding instructions for our pup. He had so much fun at Ebony’s house, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! We’ve already rebooked her for the future because we know that our Toby is well taken care of and loved while we are gone. We can’t recommend Ebony enough- she’s amazing!”
“Reservé con Nelson el cuidado de mis mascotas por 7 días, realmente hizo un excelente trabajo, Kira y Linda fueron acogidas como suyas. Todos los días recibía fotos y vídeos de ambas donde se mostraban alegres. Gracias Nelson sin dudas volvería a contratarte para que cuides de mis mascotas.”
“Sydney had such a good time vacationing with Melody and her family - Melody sent us daily pictures and updates about how she was doing and I had no worries whatsoever the whole time we were away. She ate well and was given her insulin injections twice daily without any issues, which is a wonderful as sometimes she doesn't eat as well when she is staying away from home. I highly recommend Melody to anyone who needs a furry family member sitter and I certainly plan to be calling her again the next time Sydney plans a vacation.”
“Aspen was great with responding and providing details about her services. She was pleasant to talk to and Snoop was very comfortable with her. Her location was convenient to the airport and my boy was happy when we returned home. I will definitely request her services again!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Beth, this time for a week, and it was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Beth sent frequent photos and updates and I knew our baby was in good hands. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup time. We will definitely be using Beth again!”

“I am so pleased with the care that my FIVE fur babies received! (And the two Big ones, are Hoodlums!) I know how much work they take, as well as the eye drops and 4 medications; and she really earned her money! They ranged in weight from 9, 13, 60, 89, to 93 pounds! I highly recommend her, and will be using her for more visits to see my new Granddaughter !!”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”

“Ryo was great with Piper. They provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. I could tell that Piper enjoyed himself as well, upon his return home. I will definitely refer Ryo to other friends and family looking for a sitter.”

“Rylee is amazing. Our plans with our original dog sitter fell through last minute for our week long vacation. She was a life saver. Ladybird had a healing broken nail. She there were a ton of instructions and Rylee handled it like a champ and made us feel very comfortable. Your dog will be well loved and cared for in her home. She will definitely become our go-to for any future trips.”
