“Thankful to Derek and family for another stay. At drop off, Duncan was happy to go right inside with Ellie, which made it easier to leave him for an extended time. Really appreciate the reninders in advance, and check ins with pictures during our time away. Thank you!!”

“Cynthia seriously helped us out in a pinch! And it was very obvious that Bonnie loved her time at Cynthia’s. We got plenty of updates, and she was very responsive, making the whole process of leaving our dog very smooth and worry-free. Thank you so much for your help, Cynthia!”
“Layla had a great time with Shelby and Jose. They sent lots of photos and were very easy to plan everything with. Great communication and Layla was very well cared for. Would definitely book with Shelby again!”

“Christina did a great job caring for my little Yorkie Shamrock while I was out of town. My dog is shy with new people. She knew what to do and quickly won him over so he was comfortable with her. She was able to take him on walks during the day. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Wonderful Senior Dog Sitting Experience with Beth. We recently hired Beth to dog-sit our two senior dogs. We were truly grateful for her outstanding care. From the moment we initially reached out to her, Beth was kind, attentive, and displayed a genuine love for animals that immediately put us at ease. Given their advanced age, they require very specific care, taking meds, no jumping or stairs, old and set in their ways. Florida pups who hate cold, not wanting to go outside. She followed all of our instructions diligently, ensuring that our dogs' routines and schedules were maintained. Not only did she provide regular updates and photos of our little bears, but she also went above and beyond to engage them and make it a fun experience for them. Upon our return, Char & Hen were visibly happy and content, they wandered happily around her beautiful home as if it was theirs, while we gathered their things, not anxious to leave. Which is a testament to the wonderful care they received from Beth. Beth's kind and nurturing approach to dog sitting truly sets her apart. She not only attended to the basic needs of our dogs and their quirks but also showered them with love and attention, making them feel comfortable and secure in her care. We are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind Beth provided us, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for our future dog-sitting needs. Thank you, Beth, for a fantastic dog-sitting experience!”

“Jill is amazing! She is so loving and caring… She truly loves your pet as if it were her own… I will not look further next time I need a dog sitter… She is a keeper for all future dog sitting! She is the best!!”


“Melynda did such a great ?? job taking care of my dogs, that I almost think they wanted to stay. She’s reliable, reasonably priced, and genuinely loves dogs. I totally recommend her but will be disappointed if she’s so over booked that I can get her to take my dogs ?! Thank you Melynda!”

“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”

“5 stars! My dog was so well taken care of, and I loved the regular updates with lots of pictures. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the stay. I won’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!”

“Shelby had a great time staying with Karin! Karin provided regular updates and pictures, and took great care of Shelby, I was very satisfied and will book with her again, thank you Karin!!!”


“Stella put our minds at ease when we had to leave our almost one year old puppy (for the first time) for our wedding/honeymoon. She sends picture updates and lets you know how pups are doing throughout the week, which was always nice to see. Despite our dog having a hard time adjusting to the change, she was great throughout the process. Couldn't have asked for better people to watch our Lily. Thank you, Stella and Jim!”

“Melody was amazing! She sent wonderful updates with lots of pictures! She also made my pup fresh eggs when he wasn’t eating his regular food. So grateful to her for taking such good care of my pup!”

“Justen was great! He had fun with our dog and two kittens, sent pictures and had toys for them to play with. He even brought them and all their gear out to my car and loaded since I had my 1 year old daughter with me. Would definitely use him again!”

“First time using Rover and we had a great experience with Debbie and Tom from the "meet and greet" to the overnight stay. Archie settled in nicely and I could tell he was comfortable there from the pictures and updates they sent. I am grateful for the opportunity to let him stay in a comfy home with people who love dogs!”

“Elizabeth does an awesome job with my 6 yr old terrier mix. She is the best at making him feel at home which makes me feel at ease knowing he is being treated well with lots of cuddles, love and special attention. I 100% recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

“Shauna and Peter were amazing! The reviews are all accurate and I'm so glad we found them. They took such good care of our puppy and sent us daily updates (photos and videos). The whole process was super easy and we were worried since this was our first time using Rover. When we picked up our puppy all his stuff was packed nicely and he was waiting for us at the front, ready and fed. We couldn't believe how great this app is and the loving families who opened up their home to our fur baby. Thank you Shauna and Peter for taking such good care of Leo.”

Crystal Lake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michele is warm, friendly, and truly caring. She took wonderful care of our senior dog and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took him for walks and made him feel comfortable in her home. Communication was excellent — she sent regular photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Her lovely home has a fenced yard, giving our dog a safe place to relax and explore. We would absolutely trust her again!
Natalie is a wonderful sitter! This is the second time I've used her services, she kept Milo & Daisy 2 night and sent pictures & updates on a regular basis. The dogs were happily playing in the backyard when I arrived to pick them up and seemed disappointed that it was time to go. Clearly they enjoy being with Natalie & her dog paisley. I will continue to use Natalie in the future.

Jeremy and his wife took the best care of our golden retriever Cosmo while we were on vacation in Maui! This is our 3rd time using Jeremy for dog sitting and honestly I really don't want to use anyone else. His two Australian Shepherds Meatball and Zoey are best buds with Cosmo and they have so much fun together. Jeremy sent cute pics and updates everyday and Cosmo was so happy when we picked him up at the end of the week! You could tell that he loved his vacation too. Thank you so much, Jeremy!
