“I recently boarded my babe with Ellen & her son John, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They were incredibly friendly and were even fine w/ a Meet & Greet prior to Zoë’s stay. The facility seemed clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for playtime and socializing. I appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent me, which reassured me that my dog was having a great time. I highly recommend John and Ellen for anyone looking for quality care for their fur baby!”


“Angela did an amazing job taking care of Gigi. Gigi was a happy tired girl when I picked her up from having so much fun. Highly recommend. I look forward to using Angela again.”


“Jenna was super friendly and laid back. She was cautious and had a meet and greet to see if my dog would get along with her dog before accepting my booking. She sent pictures to me while my dog was there and kept me updated on his days there. I will Definately be using Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dog.”


“I was nervous using Rover for boarding and worried about leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. Kelly was awesome! Her house is set up perfectly for dogs and my lab did fine. She has plenty of shade and doggie pools in the yard. She sent photos and was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”


“I was very pleased that they were able to take Freya on short notice. When I went for the meet and greet, Duncan was very meticulous in asking questions about Freya and writing everything down. He took great care of Freya and she was a happy pup when I went to get her. I would recommend Joan and Duncan for dog-sitting anytime!”


About: Hi! I’m Semaj, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Indee, my sweet and social pup who loves making new friends! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and have become the go-to sitter for all of my friends and family. Your dog will be treated like family here. We offer a safe, cozy, and playful environment with lots of love, attention, and experience including basic training support. Whether it’s for daycare or boarding, we can’t wait to welcome your furry friend into our home! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully secure fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Eden is an outstanding pet sitter. She is extremely kind, patient and caring. She is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our dog feel at home and sent us pictures along the way! We are grateful to Eden treating our pup like royalty and providing her with a safe and comforting home!”


“Kristin was an absolute delight of a River! So unbelievably accommodating and a perfect fit for our pup! She sent daily photos and took the best care of him. We will be using Kristin for our next dog boarding needs!”


“Thank you so much, Molly & Nikola, for taking such amazing care of Kenyesita! She had an absolute blast on her adventures and played so much that she was completely tuckered out by the time she got home. It’s clear she was in great hands, and we truly appreciate the love and attention you gave her. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”


“I can't express how grateful I am to have found Ria and her little family through Rover! From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. While I was away, she provided regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Lily was having a great time, and getting lots of exercise, love, and attention. Her three dogs are extremely well-behaved and welcomed Lily into their pack for the weekend! The entire experience was fantastic, from the initial meet-and-greet to the end of the stay. Ria went above and beyond, leaving a detailed report of Lily's activities and behavior. I highly recommend Ria to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Five stars!”


About: Me and my girlfriend have 3 dogs together and have been around dogs our entire lives ,she also has been working with dogs for several years, she is currently working at helping hounds so we often are introducing our dogs to other dogs. I am currently out of work due to health reasons but will be returning shortly but mine and my girlfriends schedules are quite different so someone is able to check in once in a while, unless it’s a weekend then I will be home with them the entire day most likely and she will be home with them on Tuesday and Wednesdays on her days off We have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and dog beds for the dogs to play and relax, we also have inside cameras and an outside camera to watch the dogs, or incase we miss something and that way we can look back and see what happened. We have boarded for several people that my girlfriend met from helping hounds and from other jobs and always love the dogs as our own and take them on adventures with permission.

About: Growing up I have always had pet including dogs, cats, and birds. I have loved taking care of pet since I was little and now own 2 pets of my own. I have worked in a pet shop helping puppies find great loving homes and I have experience walking and grooming dogs for about 2 years. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats and with puppies due to my past job and my pups now. I am currently working full time, but I do have Wednesday and Sundays off. I am available every Monday, Tuesday. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5am-12pm. Im available all day on Wednesdays and Sundays I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am able to take your fur babies for walks and take them out of a leash. I also have 2 very friendly fur babies myself that will keep your pup company. I also am able to crate the babies if needed or as a safer option

Cicero pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ruby will be seven years old at the end of August. She has never stayed with anyone except a close family friend and only for a few days. Because of health concerns, this friend is not able to take care of her anymore. Another friend told me about Rover. While looking through the information on your website for local sitters, I came across Donna‘s profile. I love the fact that her dog is a Lhasa Apso - the same breed as Ruby. I also appreciated the fact that she talked about having a fenced yard and that the smaller dogs would be cuddling on the couch with her. We decided to entrust our much loved doggie to Donna’s care. Donna sent updates on how Ruby was doing and cute pics of her. It made all the difference to see she was happy and being so well taken care of.

Extremely happy with Copper's boarding experience! It has been a long time since boarding and I was a bit nervous as Copper can be very anxious and hyper when it comes to play. Ria took time introducing her pack and went for another visit with pack. I was confident Copper was in good hands! Received pictures throughout his stay. I would highly recommend.
