Trisha took great care of my cat, Mars. She was flexible when I asked her to make extra visits and skip others. She kept her appointments, sometimes stayed overtime, and made sure he was fed and cared for. I can highly recommend her.

Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.

Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!

About: I have 12 years experience in pet sitting and pet care. I have also owned over 8 dogs and 10 cats in my 24 years! My family and I have fostered every breed, age, personality of dog you could imagine. I am passionate about caring for these animals the way they deserve! I currently own a chocolate lab, a bloodhound, and a Shih Tzu along with 3 cats. I look forward to being of assistance to you while doing what I love most! I am currently working in the mornings Monday-Friday. I would love to fill the remaining hours and days with what I am passionate about; caring for all types of animals and helping out where I can! My dogs love to run free in my yard and they get along great with other dogs, however I am aware this is not the case with all dogs. I like to get a full briefing on the type of environment that you like for your dog to be apart of. I am easily adaptable and prioritize both you and your animals needs

Ella is terrific! She always arrived on the scheduled visit times and shared photos with us from her drop-in visits. This was our first time using Rover and the first weekend our new kittens have had a kitty sitter. Everything went great and we will definitely look for availability with Ella for future visits.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their daily needs, behavior, exercise routines, and overall care. Over the past two years, I’ve also expanded my experience by professionally caring for other families’ dogs, including large breeds. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m comfortable handling larger dogs with confidence and patience, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently studying full time. But during the day I have enough time to take care of pets in differents times of the day. I'm looking for pet care in the customers' house. This way I can make sure that the pets are comfortable and safe in the place where they live. Sometimes when they are transferred to another place they can suffer from stress or anxiety

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and have consistently had a pet, from hamsters, rabbits, birds, cats and dogs I love all of our pets! I’m a full time grad student but I often have morning availability and lots of breaks between classes in the afternoon and evening. I own a car so zipping to and from class to take care of a furry friend is no trouble at all. I live in an apartment so taking your pet is unfortunately not possible, but if I’m in your space and home I would treat it like my own. I am responsible when it comes to locking up, I don’t touch things that aren’t mine, and I am mindful of any requests that you’d have for me.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old! I have had my own cockapoo since 2014 and have also routinely taken care of dogs of friends and family since then. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs of mostly small to medium sizes. I love spending time with my own dog and miss having him around while I am away at school. Dogs bring me a lot of joy, and I love getting to know the unique personality of every dog that I take care of! I am very excited to spend time with your dog :) I am currently a part-time student at Northwestern, so my schedule is very flexible! I am generally available Sunday through Wednesday as well as Saturday anytime after 11am. I am happy to walk your dog for however long is necessary as well as doing check-ins during the day while you are away!

Cody is amazing! She took the time to learn my dog’s specific needs and personality, and tailors her interaction with them. Her many years of experience with dogs was evident in the way that she cared for my senior dog’s needs and quirks. Aside from her professionalism (always on time, dependable, reliable, trustworthy), she is passionate about dogs, and my little one absolutely loved her! She went out of her way to make sure that my dog felt safe and happy while I was away, and sent me lots of cute pics. I can’t say enough great things about her. You will love her. I will definitely be rebooking her again!

The best pet sitter. Rosy literally just saved my cat’s life, when she noticed he was not his usual self, took him to the vet, where they identified he had a urinary blockage and likely just hours to live. How lucky for us that Rosy was caring for our animals and so observant. Thank you, forever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Julia was able to help us within relatively short notice (~1 week before we left for our trip) and was communicative and friendly throughout. She came out a few days before our trip to do a complimentary "meet-and-greet" to go over instructions, meet our cats, and generally put us at ease since it was our first time using a sitter via Rover. We looked forward to receiving her daily updates and pictures, and appreciated how she communicated proactively when minor questions came up.
