“Julianna is communicative, flexible, and cheerful. She is generous with compliments about my cat and always sends me pictures as an update with every visit. Trustworthy and reliable. It’s a pleasure to book her whenever I’m planning a trip out of town. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Amy was wonderful to work with -- when severe thunderstorms rolled through, kept us up to date about the state of the house while we were away. Having two similar-looking cats with different dietary needs can be difficult to keep track of, but she met the challenge with aplomb.”
“We recently moved to Northern Illinois from downstate and were nervous about leaving our older cat overnight. As soon as we met Nicole, those fears vanished. Nicole clearly has a natural gift in working with animals. Our female cat trusted her immediately. Nicole communicated with us appropriately, followed our instructions, and made a new friend in Grace. We had a wonderful weekend away. Thank you, Nicole!”

“Kim did a FANTASTIC job with a tall order. My cat is very very scared to new people and situations. Kim had the right space and approach and won my cat over very quickly. In 24 hours, my cat went from hiding to cuddling with Kim. She sent me updates and photos regularly, which I really appreciated. Kim is very compassionate and loving, and I'm so grateful I found her.”
“Margaret is the best the sitter I've come across on this app. So attentive and keeps me updated. Such a peace of mind to have someone like her watching my babies. 100% recommend.”
“Summer was such a great sitter for my dog, easy to communicate and extremely friendly to my dog. Kept me updated and send me such cute pictures and videos. I can tell my dog really had fun and was given a lot of love. Definitely will contact again !!! Was so kind to also take care of my dog last minute. Thank you so much Summer!”
About: I am newer to the pet care game but I have had experience taking care of my friends pets while they are out of town. I will always make sure they have been fed, walked, and whatever special requests the owner has. I work full time so I’m mostly looking for stuff do on weekends or evenings right now. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets and helping give them the care they need! I will not be able to keep pets in my apartment, but I will try to be as consistent with your schedule as possible so your pets can feel more stable as long as you’re gone.
About: I will love your pets the same way you do! I have years of experience of caring for dogs over multiple weeks. I also watched a friend's husky for over a year while she was out of the country. I work full time during the week but I will be available to provide overnight care Friday nights- Sunday evenings. For special circumstances outside of this, please don't hesitate to message me. You can also call me Rachel - my middle name that everyone knows me by! I don't currently offer pet sitting in my home, but am more than willing to adjust to your preferences in your home. Feel free to send me a message!
About: I've had pets my whole life and grew up caring for all kinds of animals, my family even keeps chickens, so I'm no stranger to that either. My experience has given me a real love for animal care, especially dogs. My family has four dogs at home, and they're truly part of the family. Their care and happiness mean a lot to me. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, I'm used to a routine of morning walks, feeding times, and playtime built right into my day. I make sure there's always time set aside for exercise, attention, and just being present with them, whether that's a walk around the neighborhood, some backyard playtime, or simply relaxing together at home. Caring for animals isn't an extra task for me, it's just part of how my day naturally flows. In my home, my four dogs have a regular routine of feeding, walks, and playtime, with plenty of individual attention along the way. In a client's home, I stick closely to their usual routine and keep owners updated with photos so they know their pet is well cared for.
“Robert did an amazing job! They sent me photos at each visit of the kitty and any updates. Asked before giving him any new treats. This is the calmest my cat has ever been when I’ve come back from a trip, like “I missed you, but you left me in good hands!” Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
About: I currently have a cat of my own -Ozzy- and have cared for him for the past three years, giving me a lot of experience with feeding, keeping routines, playtime, litter box care, and paying attention to changes in behavior or mood. I previously worked at a pet store where I helped care for shelter cats up for adoption. This gave me the opportunity to work with cats with different personalities and comfort levels and taught me the importance of patience and letting each animal come to you at their own pace. In anddition, I’ve also cared for my neighbors' pets over the years, including cats, dogs, birds and rabbits while they were away. I grew up with dogs and have experience walking and caring for them, as well as growing up with hamsters and birds. While I'm not comfortable handling birds directly, I'm happy to help with basic care such as feeding and cage cleaning. Working late? I’ve got you! I work a full time office job, so my most reliable weekday availability is early mornings for check-in visits and after 4 pm for dog walks and check-ins. Rain or snow? No problem! I’m happy to get outside for your dog’s walk as long as conditions are safe for both me and your pup! I’m also available Saturday/Sunday mornings and afternoons, with evenings varying from week to week. Feel free to reach out even if your schedule doesn’t perfectly match my usual availability as I’m happy to see if we can make it work. For weekday mornings or earlier afternoon visits, I may be able to accommodate requests with a few days notice depending on the location. I’m especially flexible around the Downers Grove area. My goal is to find a schedule that works for both of us and, most importantly, keeps your pet happy and well cared for. I know how important our pets are to us, and I want you to feel confident that yours is in caring, dependable hands while you're away. I'm a calm and attentive caregiver who takes the time to learn each pet's individual personality, routine, and needs. For check-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and oral medication (pills only—no injections). I’ll also send you a photo and update during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. I’m mindful that I’m also a guest in your home. I clean up after myself, keep your pet’s food, toys, and supplies where they belong, and leave things as I found them. I believe clear communication is an important part of building trust, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet. At this time, I offer check-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding.
“Pennie is the best! I had complete peace of mind knowing that my cats were in great hands. I will definitely request her again to take care of them. Pennie did a great job getting the cats to trust her and soon they came close enough to play. With the onset of covid, I decided to adopt 2 cats from our shelter. 3 year old Olive was a rescue cat and 4 year old Willow was dropped off at the shelter. They were new to each other, our family and home, so I was very nervous leaving them alone for the first time. When Pennie checked in with me I was relieved to know that they responded to her and they would be okay until we returned home.”

I have also been around dogs especially young dogs and know how energetic and playful they can be.

I have owned and taken care of 3 cats in my life. I have also been around dogs and know how energetic and attention seeking they can be.
“I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
5 stars all day long. Juliana was great to work with. Loved that she wanted to meet up before and meet the kitties and us and get the layout down before we left town. We were very comfortable letting her in our house. The updates and pictures each visit were comforting and great to know the love and care was extended to our fur babies. Would 100% use her again. I can’t say enough positive things about her. And using the service knowing when she arrived and left was comforting too. Thank you so much!!!
Audrey is the best Rover sitter we’ve had the pleasure of working with! She took the time to get to know our cats’ different personalities and often stayed longer than the amount of time we booked for. She provided extremely detailed updates with photos and videos of our cats while we were away, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again, Audrey! We highly recommend her for your Rover needs.
Meredith was fantastic! My cat can be very shy, but from all the pictures she took, it’s clear Meredith was able to quickly get her out of her shell and enjoying herself during her visits. Meredith was very reliable and adaptable as well, helping me deal with a prolonged power outage due to heavy storms. I can’t recommend her enough!
I have used Cristl exclusively to care for my cats while I’ve traveled, and she has provided them excellent care each time! Each cat eats different food, and one cat is medicated, so there are a lot of directions for her to follow! She never missed a beat. She communicates well after each visit and spends sufficient time to ensure my kitties have had some company while we are away. I highly recommend Cristl!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
