Our one cat is not a cuddler, but we have numerous pictures showing him cuddling with Diane. She comforted our Senior cat in the middle of the night, and bonded with our two dogs. We could not be happier!

Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!

Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!

Kelso was absolutely incredible taking care of my doggo child who can be a handful, I completely felt at ease with my dog son in her care! She kindly gave me updates, pics, video, and even got him his first pup cup which he loved! She administered his AM & PM meds without missing any, gave him his special meals, and was able to handle his dog reactivity on walks & keep my boy safe & other dogs safe as well. Cookie was even sad to see her go as he made a new bff, and he’s a picky lil guy. She’s super easy going and down to earth, I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a doggo sitter & will be recommending for any friends who need dog sitters too!! 🙏🙌👌💖💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐶☺️🤩

Cheryl was terrific with my two kitties. They got lots of love and she even refilled the bird feeders so they could watch the birdies! We will definitely hire her again.

Emmet did a phenomenal job. Great communication and on top of everything. The fact that he can be around during the day during overnight stays is a big help because we have a little guy who can’t hold it all day. Highly recommend!

Marin is a fantastic pet sitter. We have an older guy and she was really great with him. She is a naturally good communicator so we didn't worry at all while we were away. Also, Marin stayed at our home and was a perfect guest. We would book her again in a heartbeat.

We are incredibly grateful for Sarah. It was our first time using rover and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her attention to detail for our pet family was phenomenal. Our dog is a senior and reactive and picky with people, but Sarah has become his new bff. She’s got great vibes with the pets and it really helped us feel at ease knowing they were in great hands with Sarah. Thanks so much! We’re super lucky and grateful to meet you and work with you!

We had to find pet care for our week long trip on short notice. From the beginning Maribel was very flexible and responsive. We met for a meet and greet and our dog Ivy, who is not usually friendly with strangers in her home, brought Maribel her favorite toy after a brief sniff. We got daily updates and pictures. Ivy always looked happy and well cared for. We will definitely trust Maribel to care for our pup in the future.

Mya was excellent! She watched my dog over 4th of July weekend and I really appreciated the updates and her trying to make my dog calm amidst fireworks. She was very responsive and sent lots of picture updates! She took my dog to the park (the one I said he loved) and didn’t just quickly take him outside for bathroom breaks like I’ve had some other dog sitters do. I highly recommend booking her services!

Ariana was an incredible sitter. She was so sweet and loving to my dog, Roo. It helped me not worry as much knowing my dog was in such good hands. While she was sitting, the AC for my second floor went out during the extreme heat in Chicago. Ariana was very understanding which allowed me to schedule someone to fix the AC while she was there. She communicated everything to me from the repairman and I was able to get it resolved. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!
