“Hannah was a great for a 2-week trip we needed care for our dog. From the beginning, she was super responsive and very responsible, from the meet and greet thru a few changes I needed to make after booking. She was easygoing and flexible, and made us so relaxed to leave our little guy. During the trip, she updated us daily and was very communicative. We never worried and I knew Opie was in a warm, friendly, and loving home with so many friends to play with. He came home happy and tired and clean. We’ll definitely use Hannah’s wonderful services again!”

“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”

“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”

“Ruby was very well taken care of! Michael was professional, prompt, and at the same time warm, friendly and welcoming. I could tell from the pictures he sent that she was well loved and having fun. This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy it!”

“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“Outstanding!! we love that we got multiple pictures and videos every single day. They took care of our pup like she was one of their own. Their dog has a great temperament and I’m sure our dog will miss playtime and naps with him! I will absolutely book again!”

“Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!”

“Leigh and her family provide the very best care for your dog! She sent daily updates with great pictures and was very responsive to all of our questions. We will definitely book another stay with Leigh on our next trip.”

“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”


“My dog is so happy to be with Ewa and all the doggy pals, he meets there. We are repeat customers I highly recommend Ew and her husbands dog sitting service. They are really caring people and seem to love my dog.”

“Cindy & her family were absolutely amazing with my pup. I am really cautious about leaving my girl behind, but Cindy made me feel at ease immediately. I received many sweet photos and updates. Highly recommend!!!”

“Kyle and his family did a great job taking care of my dog Sugar. My mom passed away this week and he was available on very short notice, which I am grateful for. Anyway very communicative with pictures, etc, my experience justifies the other positive reviews... great person and family to take care of your dog!”

“Loved having Vicki watch Gus this last weekend. She and her family took great care of him and helped him feel at home. He came back happy and tired from a lot of play with new friends all weekend!”

“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”

“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”


“A++++ awesome experience. First time using Rover.com. I needed a place for a week -asap. One of my dogs sometimes can be aggressive. I spoke to Nikki who patiently answered all my questions and accommodated my dogs. They responded to messages quickly. I also received daily pictures. My dogs were very happy and calm when I picked them up. Actually calmer then they normally are. When we got home they both conked out. They need a vacation from their vacation lol. Denis and Nikki are great - So glad I found them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”


“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”

Buffalo Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Leigh & Richard watching our dog Ivy for over a week! Ivy is a 7-yr old rescue and can be very skittish at times and hesitant with new people and locations. Leigh took the time to watch her a few times before our trip to get comfortable with her and Ivy did great! We were sent pictures daily of Ivy while on our trip, which made it so much better as we could be stress-free over our dog. Their fenced in yard also worked out perfectly to give Ivy plenty of time outside. Thanks again! We hope to continue this relationship!

Our 7 year old lab with cancer was well taken care of for 4 days by the husband and wife duo. Me and family were able to relax and enjoy our vacation since we knew Sago was in safe caring hands. Prithvi was also kind enough to send pictures of Sago every day which eased our mind even more. Sago had a fun time with their dog Loki. We highly recommend.
We had a wonderful experience with Balaji. We needed a sitter for our two week international trip and were nervous because this was our one-year-old toy poodle's first time being away from us. From the very beginning, Balaji reassured us that our dog would be well cared for. He even offered a short trial stay at his home so our dog could become familiar with the environment before the boarding stay. During that two hour trial stay, Balaji sent us photos and videos, which gave us confidence that our dog was comfortable and in good hands. Throughout the two week boarding period, Balaji sent multiple photos and videos every day, allowing us to see that our dog was comfortable and receiving good care. He was also very responsive and replied to our messages very quickly. Knowing that our dog was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Balaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

We couldn't have been happier with the care our two Shih Tzus received during their 9-day stay. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates. Yuliia sent adorable photos and videos almost every day, along with the sweetest comments about what the dogs were doing and how they were settling in. It meant so much to us while we were away and really helped us feel connected to them. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.

We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.

Joanna and her family were absolutely amazing with our boy. We could see their passion for dogs and caring for them, right away. We were away for a week and while we missed Sarge very much, we were at great ease with the care he recieved. Sarge got along great with their two absolutely adorable dogs. We were very impressed with the pictures and daily updates. We will 100% rebook with Joanna. Highly recommend! 🐾

Jessie and Jeeps (her dog) were fantastic! She was accommodating with our dogs routine and walked him many times each day. She was extremely communicative and sent many pictures which made me as a dog mama feel so much more comfortable using rover for the first time. Highly recommend Jessie to watch your pups!
