“This was my first time using rover to watch over my kitty Ellie. Michelle was great in showing up and spending quality time. She also sent lots of photos which I appreciated!”

“Maddy was super kind and communicative. She treated our dogs so well and made our day away from the house so easy and not stressful! Definitely glad to know she’s here if we need her in the future!”

“Having Gabriella as a sitter was great! She was very communicative and cooperative during my booking. She followed instructions well. I would definitely book her again.”

“Darwin did a wonderful job with our 2 cats. They are so quick to respond to texts and always sent a descriptive note about how each visit went. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we arrived home again.”

About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.
“Tracey was super kind to my cat and I felt a lot better knowing that someone was caring for her while I was gone. She was very flexible and communicative as well. Would highly recommend!”

“Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!”

“Tori did such a wonderful job with the house visits for my two cats when I went out of town. She's friendly, kind and my cats loved her. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”

“Our dog LOVES Sydney. She’s the best. Was very responsible with our golden doodle Olive. Would 100% rebook with her. Super reliable and responsive too!”

About: I could sit on the floor next to your dog or cat and give them love for hours. They are the sweetest beings in this planet and I love to interact with them! I don’t have specialized training in pet care, but I do have years of experience dog-sitting and have a cat of my own who I adore. Hire me for a job well done and a low price, because I love long walks! I work in the orchestra so my schedule varies week to week but my hours are never long. Generally I am available before 10am and after 3:30pm with a hour break 12:30-1:30. Some days like Mondays and Fridays I am available all day. Most of August I am not working and am free anytime. I’m also happy to come to you if you need an overnight sitter. I offer care in clients’ homes, which means that I want your pet to receive the utmost care without you noticing that I was ever there. I will always leave things as clean and organized as possible.
“Andrew is our go-to sitter! He is consistent, communicates well, and always prioritizes hanging out with our cat. Highly recommend, and will continue to use him!”


“Jamie was amazing!! She was so attentive and loving to our cat, Iris, and made sure to give her lots of love. All of the pictures were truly appreciated and made us feel like Iris was in very good hands. We will definitely reach out to Jamie again!!”

“Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!”


About: Experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting. I've provided pet/house care for families who have taken extended vacations (2-5 weeks). Love to be active and play with animals! I'm responsible and consistent and willing to help with extra tasks in your home (plant care, light cleaning, taking out trash, etc.). While I can't have your pet in my home, I am able and willing to stay overnight, drop-in for extended visits/walks, and/or do what your pet needs to be comfortable. I have years of experience nannying in people’s homes and I’m currently working as a speech therapist in school and hospital settings. I hope you’ll give me a chance to take care of your pet(s)! My work schedule varies, but I generally work 3-4 weekdays from around 8-4pm. I’m able to stop by before work, after work, weekends, and of course stay over if that works best! I always try to incorporate exercise and/play into the pet’s day if possible. I try to make sure animals feel safe and cared for, giving space if they need.

It is a relief when we know that Annalise can watch our cat when we are away. She’s very conscientious – she knows a lot about pets – in fact, she made a suggestion about my cat’s diet, which has really made an improvement – she does it in a nice humble way. Highly recommend.
