“Left Pancho in really good hands! I could tell he was comfortable right away. I also got multiple updates and pictures throughout the day which I appreciated a ton! Layla and Teddy were the best hosts.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Crystal. She was incredibly responsive, which made the booking process, pick up and drop off smooth. The care my pet received was exceptional; I can tell Crystal and her family truly love animals and treated my fur child like their own. Crystal was super friendly and kept me updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking with Crystal again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”

“Olivia is hands down the best sitter I have ever had for my pup. I have tried several people in the past, but no one has matched her level of genuine care and attention to detail. My pup Winston can be a bit shy, but he was immediately comfortable with her, which was a huge relief. He also has a very specific feeding routine that Olivia handled perfectly. She is incredibly responsive and sends THE BEST photo updates, so I was never left wondering how things were going. My dog whined and refused to leave when I got him, which has literally never happened before. If you want total peace of mind, book with Olivia. I will absolutely be using her again!”

“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”

“Sarah did an amazing job with Cooper. We were out of town for awhile and she sent pictures every day and kept me updated. She played with him quite a bit and was able to keep up with his high energy. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!”


“Nancy and her husband took excellent care of our dog while we were on a family vacation! Nancy provided updates and pictures of Sarge while we were gone - he was thoroughly spoiled and enjoyed playing with the other dogs, taking walks, and relaxing in the sun. I would recommend Nancy to a friend. Thanks so much!!”

About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“Jonathan is awesome! We were so happy that Jacks got to stay with him for 10 days. Jonathan took exceptional care of Jacks. He sent pics every day. Best of all were the videos showing Jacks running around and playing while Jonathan spoke about how he was doing. Jacks had a great time and is looking forward to his next stay.”

“Shanna was hands down the best sitter I have ever used for my dogs. She has the perfect home for dogs to sprawl out and run around. The level of professionalism was incredible and I have quite literally never seen both my dogs so happy. Little Basil didn’t want to come home! I would and will recommend her to anyone I know who needs a quality dog sitter who really cares. I can not wait to have her watch my babies again soon!”

“Alyssa was amazing and I will definitely be booking her anytime I’m out of town. She’s attentive and very sweet. She was sure to check in with me daily and answered all my questions I feel very confident in leaving my kitten in her care ??”

“She did an amazing job at making me and Biggie feel comfortable. She was very loving with Biggie and frequently sent pictures updating his stay and showing how he was settling in. I would definitely recommend”

“Isha was AMAZING! Our pups were with them for a longer stay and we were nervous to be away. She was so proactive with updates, photos, and videos. She spoke about our dogs that let us know she clearly was spending time with them. Our dogs came home happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend!”
“She always takes such great care of my willow, I have nothing but faith. So many photos and updates constantly and I know my dog loves her! 10/10 recommend for anyone!”

“Jennifer made us comfortable ever step of the way when we were planning a trip, during, and picking our Violet up after our trip. We are very grateful!💖”

“Janet and her BF were amazing sitters! They kept us updated everyday with pictures and videos. I will absolutely be using this service again in the very near future, and I don’t even think I will ever need to find a new sitter. She’s always gonna be my number 1 choice.”

“Absolutely amazing. I got a sitter for life and a friend for life. She is so sweet and caring. She went above and beyond to make my puppy happy. She bought her treats and clothes. She is the best. Officially my pups auntie”

“Dani was an amazing dog sitter with Dune, per usual. She sent a bunch of pics and updates about our pup, was flexible and reliable. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!”

Arlington Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with LaRae! She went completely above and beyond, was incredibly flexible, and treated Winston like her own. She even got him a sweet present for his gotcha day, which was so thoughtful and meant a lot to us. We got plenty of updates and could tell Winston was so happy and well cared for the entire time. We will absolutely be using LaRae again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!

Celia thank you so much for watching Penny for us. For others looking for sitters, I would highly recommend Celia. She was very attentive to Penny for an extended weekend during which she provided excellent care, lots of cuddles, and lots of updates on how Penny was doing / adapting to being with her. She even provided a personalized & fun review for Penny on how she did which was incredibly thoughtful. Thank you so much again!!

I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I reached out to her in a bit of a panic needing last-minute care for my dog Willow, and she said yes without hesitation. That alone was a huge relief, but what really stood out was how she kept me in the loop the entire time — regular updates, photos, the works. You could just tell Willow was comfortable and genuinely well looked after, not just tolerated. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your pup and won’t leave you anxiously checking your phone all day, Olivia is your person. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Amazing experience! Stella came home happy and clearly well‑loved. She probably can’t wait to go back! Meredith sent great updates and photos throughout the stay, and communication was super fast. I felt totally at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely rebook with her!

OBESSEDDDD. Scooty Booty had the best time staying with Sierra and Liam! They were so responsive and their property is every dogs dream. They sent videos and pictures often and are so nice in person as well. I actually feel a little guilty for sending my dog to a kennel all this time when he could've been enjoying a big back yard and some 24/7 TLC this whole time!!!

We have used Jennie multiple times for our Goldendoodle and our dog loves going and I can’t say enough good things! We most recently got stuck out of town due to the local ice storm and we knew our dog was being well cared for and loved. We always get pics of how the stay is going. Will keep using Jennie as long as she is available!
