“Tara is fantastic! You can tell she really enjoys her job! She is timely, thorough and loving! Tara took great care of our big boy kitty Bela, she took time to get to know him, Bela loves to play and Tara was great playing with him, above and beyond what was expected! Tara is great with communicating and sending pictures, we felt very comfortable leaving Bela in her care. We will definitely request her again the next time we need care for Bela! We highly recommend Tara W!”

“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”

About: I've owned pets my whole life. I currently own two pets: a Coton de Tulear named Kitty and a sweet German Shepherd named Medusa. I volunteer at animal shelters, and work as a veterinarian assistant. I have experience with cats and dogs ranging from newborns to seniors. While I have my own pets, rest assured your baby will have my undivided attention while in my care. I interact with pet on a daily basis. I work as a vet assistant, and have my own pets. I have lots of free time throughout the week that I occassionally dedicate to my neighborhood animal shelters. My most open days are Wed - Fri. Pets will never be left unsupervised in my care. Only pets from one household will be walked at a time. When doing drop in visits I pay close attention to the instructions given by the pet owner, and will ensure the pet is comfortable before departing. I will provide pets access to water at all times, and pay close attention for any signs of discomfort. I always keep a first aid kit handy. I do not offer treats or foods that are approved of by the owner first. If I notice anything concerning I will notify the pet owner. I'll also provide cute update photos for the owners reassurance.

“SO amazing!!!! Gionna is so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. Not only did she take care of everything we needed for our kitty while we were gone but she went above and beyond to accommodate our kitty’s initial shyness and with Gionna’s patience and knowledge of cats, she was able to get her to come out and play/cuddle too!!! Gionna is so great and really helped us to be able to relax and trust our beloved pet was well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so SO much again for being so awesome Gionna!!!!!!”

“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve watched pets for my friends and loved ones. I also own my on dog. I will make sure your dog or cat has fun, gets lots of hugs and is well cared for. I have a part-time job. I work on Wednesdays every week and Fridays,Saturdays, and Sundays every other week. I’m starting nursing school in July so, I have plenty of time to share with your dog or cat lol. My house is a very safe environment for a dog or cat to be in. I like to keep my home really tightly. Plus I have a pup of my own that loves other dogs.

About: Fenced yard, structured routine, and attentive care in a real home environment. I provide clean, consistent boarding with clear expectations so dogs can settle quickly and feel secure. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Afghan Hounds, Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Cockers, Min Pins, Weimaraners, and Akitas. I’m comfortable handling both easygoing dogs and higher-energy or more strong-willed personalities. My home is set up for structure and safety. I have multiple crates in different sizes, a dedicated space for separation when needed, and a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. If your dog does best with a quieter environment or needs to be the only dog, I can accommodate that with advance notice and adjusted pricing. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector and a home care aide, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood, and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, and a couple of unoccupied spaces for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

About: I take care of all animals in my care, mine or not. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I work as a full time dog groomer and now that Rover has that service, I would like to build my own clientele. I work full time so unless I am doing a house sitting or the place is close by that I can do a fly by, I am not available in the morning most days except weekends. Your dog is never out of my sight unless I allow they are secure in a crate. Any thing that brings me concern will be immediately brought up with you and I will find any solution I can to help.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and truly love spending time with them. I had a German Shepherd named Sheba and two cats, Pichu and Mitzu, and I’ve also cared for friends’ pets. Through Rover, I’ve walked and cared for pets of a wide range of ages. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. I work remotely and thus have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet care. I am happy to accommodate the needs of my clients. In my client’s home I am happy to abide by any and all rules specified by the client, and ensure that their pet is happy!

About: I have been surrounded by pets all my life. I have been professionally taking care of pets and people for the last 5 years and love every moment of it. I only work a few days out of the week and have plenty of time to care for other pets. I have a 4 month old cavapoo at home and most of my time is dedicated to taking care of her and she can use some more friends. I live in an apartment with a big unfenced community yard where we will spend most of our time. Every 2-4 hour potty break will be provided and plenty of play time.

“Melissa was super flexible and accommodating! She took such great care of my puppy & put my mind at ease by providing me updates during the check-in! She always had her own backup supplies just in case!”

About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!

About: I'm a nanny, so whenever I am with one of my kiddos, I'm with their fur sibling(s) too. I love being outdoors with animals, just as it is with little children, it's fun watching them get so excited discover new (and old) things! I'm currently working part-time with a pretty flexible schedule. It gives me plenty of time for playing, walking, and just checking in on your fur family! I value open communication and respect house rules. So, I tend to ask lots of questions about what you as parents do and don't allow in your space, but I let the pets enjoy their home within those confines. I mean, who wants to be bored at home?

About: I am an all around animal lover and have been a pet owner for the past 10 years! My home includes male dog, Bailey, Shih-Poo (fixed) and male dog Titan, German Shepherd (fixed) During the week walks will occur around 6:30AM, 7PM and 9:30/10:00PM. Weekends allow for more flexibility for younger pups as I am home more during the day. Patience is a guarantee as an owner of an anxious pup (Bailey), it takes time to become familiar with a new people and being their family being away for any amount of time. Please let me know your pups activity level in effort to keep him/her as close to their routine as possible! Do not hesitated to contact me if any additional questions arise! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon :) I currently work full time in the Little Village area. I am usually able to make it back south around 5:00 PM depending on traffic/weather I try to keep pets as close to their routine as possible which usually involves a meet and greet prior to and brief overview of the home. I’m always open to instructions being left!

“Jennifer did a superb job taking care of my kitty Mira while I was traveling! I am grateful to have found such a wonderful and reliable cat sitter. Very highly recommended!”
