“Linda took great care of our dog while we were away for 5 nights. She was very responsive and easy to work with and sent a daily photo and update. Thank you, Linda!”

“Loraine was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Straya, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Loraine sent updates and photos, which was so appreciated and helped us feel connected to our sweet girl. Straya was clearly very happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We would absolutely rebook with Loraine again!”

“Wayne was excellent! Very organized and professional with my dogs and his own. I received pics and videos every morning! Very satisfied with his communication and care for my doggie!”

“She was amazing and so sweet with our two dogs. It was their first time being away from home and we were super nervous, but she sent us photos, videos, and updates everyday while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again.”

“This is the second time we have taken our dog to Matt and Michelle and family. They treat him as one of their own and our dog seems to fit right in. They send pictures and videos to keep you updated. We will continue to take our dog there.”

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“Judith was amazing, communication was quick and she is great on sending updates on your pet. Leroy came back home extremely happy and would love to go back soon. Highly recommend her for your pet needs.”

“Izzy is the best! Sometimes we’ve had to book overnight boarding last minute, but she has always been available for us which helps us so much. She’s so kind and truly loves our fur baby Pippen. When we drive up, our normally nervous pup gets so excited. We feel so lucky to have met her!”

“Katherine and her family were great to Lily during her stay. The weather was definitely not in our favor during her stay but Katie didn’t shy away from getting outside still, taking her to the dog park and bathing her as necessary due to the muddy weather. She also worked through some doggy anxiety and was great with sending photos and updates. It was great to know she was in good hands.”

“Ethel is a great dog sitter and immediately felt that my dog was in good hands. She always updates you with photos and comments on how your dog is doing. If you are second guessing using Ethel, she is the best care taker in the Chicago area so book her! Thanks again Ethel!!”

“Dez is our go to dog sitter on Rover! He takes great care of our anxious pup and has worked with us to make her as calm and comfortable as possible during her stay. This was the longest we've ever left our dog and it was such a comfort to know she was in great hands. He also administered some meds for her and gave me updates on her condition along the way. Dez is the best!”

“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”

“This is my 7 year old, Shih Tzu’s 3rd time with Sarai & she loves it over there. She’s always ready & available with a positive, welcoming attitude to Jazz & helps her feel comfortable Sarai’s communication/updates can sometime be a little off, but she eventually gets back to me in 24 hours or less. Jazz always comes back happy & healthy.”

Barbara was amazing with our little pup, Brucie. She is quick with communication, so caring, and you can tell that she really loves (and knows!) dogs. We got many pictures and updates throughout the day and Brucie always looked happy. Highly recommend. We will use Barbara again in the future.

Phyllis was an amazing sitter for Coffee! She did a great job keeping me updated with regular status updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Coffee and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Coffee had such a great time staying with her, and I could tell he was very well taken care of. I would absolutely book with Phyllis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter on Rover!

I recently had a 2½‑week vacation planned and was nervous about leaving my anxious dog, Teddy, for the first time. Angelina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful from the very beginning. We arranged a couple of day visits and a few overnight stays ahead of my trip so Teddy could slowly adjust to her home and routine. Angelina was wonderfully attentive to Teddy’s needs, especially with feeding—he’s a picky eater, and she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. By the third visit, Teddy was running happily to her door, tail wagging, and that’s when I knew I had found the perfect person to care for him. While I was away, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy had a blast playing with the other dogs, and I can tell he truly misses them! I highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and reliable sitter. She made a stressful situation feel easy, and Teddy absolutely adored her. 💙🐶💙

Holly and her family immediately welcomed Lincoln into their home and made sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Holly sent us lots of updates and made sure we knew how our boy was doing. Would highly recommend and Lincoln hopes he can visit again. He especially loved his playtime with Holly’s pups Layla and Piper☺️

Selene took wonderful care of our dog, Peanut! She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Peanut was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her attentiveness and kindness, and we would absolutely trust her with Peanut again. Highly recommend!

Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!
We had a great experience with Chloe. She and her boyfriend took great care of our little boy during our trip. Communications were easy. They are very detailed and took the time to learn about our boy’s habits & likes/dislikes to make sure he has a comfortable stay. We would definitely have them watch our boy again.

Coren was great with Piper. He asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to make sure he understood Piper's needs. When I picked up Piper from her stay, she seemed in great spirits. I feel like Coren treated Piper like his own. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.
