“Jennifer is amazing. She showed up on time and did so good with my dog! I was nervous as it was my first time leaving her with a pet sitter. However, now I will be requesting Jennifer when I need her moving forward.”
“Leah, is awesome! I have high maintenance fur babies and she handle them like a pro. Took them for walks, one of my fur babies hurt his paw and she immediately let me know and was concerned she sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend Leah and I will be booking with her in the future.”
“So nice to have an adult in charge! Charles was great according to my pups. They’re happy: I’m happy. Love the photos he sent to keep me updated on my pups. Everything was pristine condition on my return. Would definitely recommend Charles.”
“Brigit is a great petsitter as well as a house sitter. She is very attentive to detail, sent us photos of the animals while we were gone, reported daily to us how they were doing, followed instructions to the letter, and is a vet tech, so we didn't have to worry if one of the animals had an emergency. She is very responsible, left the house clean, and was responsive to our questions and concerns. We highly recommend Brigit!”
“August was very responsive, thoughtful and a good communicator. He sent lots of updates about my dog and how he was doing. My house was in good order and my dog seemed happy and content upon my return! Would recommend him for sure!”
“Jennifer was an absolute life saver in caring for my 2 unique little chiweenies who are not used to other people, let alone Mom being away. They warmed up to her so fast and I came home to 2 very happy and cared for dogs. Jennifer communicates frequently and sends lots of pics which I so appreciate and dealt with some of my diva dogs behaviors like a total pro. I am so grateful.”
“Kristen did great with my Bernese mountain dogs. By the end of the weekend even my scared rescue was going to her for some pets! She sent photos and updates each day easing my anxiety about leaving them. Definitely would recommend and will use her again! Thank you Kristen!”
“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”
“Max was amazing! He gave us constant updates, didn’t leave our dogs for long periods of time which was our biggest request and he left our house spotless. He is professional, kind, and trustworthy. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dogs were in good hands.”
“Ck B. did a great job of house and pet sitting for me. My precious pup, Luna, warmed up to Ck very quickly. Ck is a consumate professional and I am very appreciative that she spent considerable time at my home, while I was out of town. I also appreciate Ck's due diligence to my pet's care and feeding, as well as her sending me photos of Luna to keep me informed. I will definitely request Ck for future house and pet sitting.”
“My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”
About: As a dog owner and animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for three years, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve handled everything from feeding schedules and long walks to medications and overnight stays. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away, and don't forget to give them plenty of love and cuddles! I work part-time in the mid afternoon/evening and spend most of my time at home, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays and can easily adjust to your dog’s routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I always make sure dogs have a clean, secure space to relax and play. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep routines consistent, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and at ease. I treat all dogs like part of the family—lots of cuddles, playtime, and gentle supervision. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and cared for just like my own.
“Vy did an amazing job looking after our Cosmo! she abide by all of our requests, and was able to fit in in such short notice! Cosmo was super happy that somebody stayed with him, it was his first day alone without either of us, so being able to find a sitter to watch him when he’s just a puppy was amazing! I will definitely book with Vy again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles since I was young. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I currently work as a bartender/server. I have lots of free time to take care of animals and animals bring me a lot of happiness. I currently live in an apartment complex and have a great space for animals. We do have a dog park at the complex and I live down the street from a golf course, which has a great path to walk.
“Alexis did an amazing job caring for our pup Benny and our home while we were on vacation. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving Benny since he can be a bit high-energy, but Alexis handled him so naturally and confidently. She kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which really helped put me at ease. She made sure Benny got his walks and lots of love, and even left our home clean before she left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—10/10, we would absolutely hire Alexis again!”
“Rose was fantastic! My dogs are VERY energetic and can be a handful. Rose did a great job managing my crew; they seemed to have a great time with her. I would highly recommend Rose to anyone who needs someone who is caring and responsible to watch your fur babies!”
Academy Acres North pet parents share their Rover experiences
We hired Keri to pet/house sit for us while we were away over a 2 week period. I could not be more thrilled with her work! All 4 of my pets adored her. Keri sent so many pictures and videos. I never had to worry about how they were doing. I loved seeing all the fun they were having, especially the wonderful walks my dog got to go on. Keri left our house in amazing condition. Everything was clean including fresh bed linens on the bed she used. She even left a note detailing what pet supplies we needed to replenish soon. It made coming home so easy. The pets were excited to see us, but didn't freak out and get overwhelmed when we walked through the door. That was a sign to me that they had been thoroughly taken care of and loved while we were gone.
Vy did an amazing job looking after our Cosmo! she abide by all of our requests, and was able to fit in in such short notice! Cosmo was super happy that somebody stayed with him, it was his first day alone without either of us, so being able to find a sitter to watch him when he’s just a puppy was amazing! I will definitely book with Vy again in the future!
Kristen is fantastic! She has done drop ins for me several times before and is great with Betty, prompt and very communicative . This was my and Betty’s first time having someone stay overnight with her. Kristen was very patient with Betty who was nervous and shy suddenly about me not being home at all. I highly recommend her and plan on using her services again in the future!
This is my second time working with Sheyenne for house sitting in my home, and it has been a great experience each time. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog and cat are well cared for when I’m away. Even my shy cat cuddles with her 🥰 Sheyenne is reliable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Luca did a great job with my dogs! I felt extremely comfortable with him taking care of them and staying in the house. He sent pictures and communicated very well. Also, he was very accommodating and understanding when I had to cut my trip short due to an injury. I’ll definitely work with Luca again, particularly walking the dogs on my work days.
Madelynne was very good with our cats and senior dogs. We aren't always comfortable leaving them with sitters as they've gotten older. She had to deal with a small medical emergency with one of our senior dogs, and administer medicine. She did great. All dogs and cats were comfortable and happy when we got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book again, and recommend booking with her. Thanks, Madelynne!
From all signs Abrianna worked magic with our Taitie. He can be very independent but also very loving. When Abri came for our meet-and-greet, Taitie warmed up to her immediately, which is not his usual reaction. We were reassured by that interaction, as we were by the pictures and video she texted us while away, that he was with someone who genuinely cared about him. Clearly, Taitie was reassured as well. A win-win!
A dedicated, trustworthy sitter. Daniel went the extra mile in so many regards for us yet again, we wouldn't have anyone else. Our 2025 Christmas trip ended in a twelve hour delay through Ohare International. Daniel was gracious and accommodated us through that delay, kept us updated, and stayed flexible as weather and other unforeseen issues kept cropping up late into the night. Arriving home at 4am to well cared for dogs and hotel level preparations + cleaning was amazing. It isn't the first time Daniel has left the place better than he found it; it's an extraordinary level of care for a home. The most important thing is the care he gives our pups. It's easy to see that they've had the company they needed. They're not in a panic and they're properly fed. We have three fifty pound females that are a handful. They don't like to eat when we're gone, and they have resource guarding problems that Daniel has always managed extremely well. This time was no exception. We got daily pictures and updates and the ladies ate every day which is no small feat. I'm sure we're going to still be finding the above-and-beyond things he did for us for the next several days. Laundered linens, bonus snacks, and pressure-washed patio pavement (just cause he likes doing it!) are the tip of the iceberg. We're so grateful to have managed to book him in time for this trip, holiday travel is stressful enough and not having to worry about our ladies or home is the biggest relief. Thank you Daniel!
Maleah is one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s professional, communicative, and reliable. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maisie was in good hands. She left our home pristine and Maisie was clearly content when we came home. A sign that she was well taken care of! We definitely hope to have Maleah stay again!
