House Sitting in South Chicago Heights

This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!

Bella - my fur baby - isn't very warm and affectionate. But she values companionship, walks, and treats. Cheyenne gave her all her fav things. She even moved Bella's bed into the room with her so Bella had close contact overnight, took her for walks daily, and told her she was a girl with treats. What I valued most is Cheyenne communicates openly. I have always used family and friends before to watch Bella. They don't always tell you upfront about the challenges so you can make informed decisions and workarounds together. I will definitely be using her again.

Katie was awesome ! We have a chihuahua that gets stressed when we leave and she was her normal self when we got back from our weekend trip . Thank you Katie !

Lily was amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She gave me such ease knowing my 2 dogs were taken care of. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’d have Lily back anytime.

I don’t usually leave long reviews, but this one matters. I have two cats and a senior dog named Luckie, who is at the end stages of bladder cancer. She was given 6 months to live—two years ago. She now has very specific care needs: daily pain meds that wear off in the afternoon (causing frequent, urgent trips outside), severe separation anxiety, and an extremely picky appetite (mostly cured ham at this point). My husband and I haven’t left her alone in years. One of us has always been by her side—until now, when we had to travel for our daughter’s wedding. I was extremely nervous about leaving her, but then I found Lisa on Rover. From our first meeting, I could tell Luckie felt comfortable, and I decided to trust her with our pets for a full week. I left her with a 7-page guide (yes, really), and she never once made me feel silly about it. She responded quickly to every message, sent thoughtful updates, and gave me peace of mind I honestly didn’t think was possible. I expected to be checking in constantly, but I didn’t need to—Lisa made it easy to trust that Luckie was in good hands. The best part? All of our animals clearly love her. And if you’re a pet parent, you know that says everything.

It was an absolute pleasure having Karen as my dog sitter! 🐾❤️ She took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away for a few days, and I could immediately tell when I got home that they had been in great hands. They were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Karen paid close attention to their needs, spent time playing with them, and truly treated them as if they were her own. As a dog owner, there’s nothing better than being able to leave town knowing your pets are with someone who genuinely cares about them. I came home feeling so relieved and grateful that I had trusted Karen with my dogs. I truly appreciate everything she did and would absolutely trust her to care for them again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter! 🐶💕
