“Jason has been a huge help taking care of my dogs a couple times a week. They love him! He leaves detailed notes, asks questions as needed, and sends lots of pics. Thanks Jason!”
3. Amy R.
“I chose Amy as my walker the fist time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is fantastic. I love the peace of mind the company policies provide me. The check in cards are a great feature and the fact that I can select to receive Rover messages as texts is also a great option. The app is user-friendly and works smoothly.”

“I have the utmost confidence in Paige. Her loving care of my Girl, is Bar none! I'm glad that you, Paige are in our lives. See you every Saturday with much alacrity 🐾💃🏽🐾🌿♡”
5. Laurie F.
“Laurie is awesome! She is very patient with Dodo and stayed out with him during the entire time when it was snowing and raining. Really appreciate her help!”
6. Leah A.
“Leah has stayed with my cats three times. She takes such good care of my fur babies. She has no problem giving them pills when needed (and I have one cat who always needs something). She takes such good care of them and they love it when she watches them. I’m a neurotic pet parent but I don’t worry about them at all when Leah is staying with them.”
7. Elena T.
“Elena is simply amazing! I was initially a bit nervous about leaving my pitbull, Rambo, for the whole weekend, but Elena made me feel completely at ease. She was calm, kind, and clearly experienced – she didn’t hesitate or show any fear, even with Rambo’s big personality. When I picked him up, Rambo was so happy and relaxed – I almost felt like he wanted to stay with Elena longer! She took such great care of him, giving him the attention and playtime he loves. It’s so reassuring to know he was with someone who genuinely enjoys being with dogs. Highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Elena, for being wonderful with Rambo! – Izabela and Rambo🫶”
8. Stephen M.
“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”
9. Sarah M.
“Sarah is great! Our Kratos loves her and she’s very tentative when she walks him.”
10. Amy F.
“Appreciate knowing that when my little guy needs and an occasional walk when I’m away for the day, that’s there’s someone reliable in the area to help out! Thanks!”
11. Denis & Nikki M.
“Can’t say enough good things!! Communication was excellent. Reliable and prompt. We had a wonderful four days of dog walking. In fact, I think my dog is sad that he’s back to having me walk him. 🤷♀️”
12. Jocelyn K.
About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 14. I had a golden doodle pet of my own for 12 years. I have given injections and pills to dogs. I have been trusted to take care of dogs with epilepsy and diabetes. I have plenty of time to be with your animals. I love cuddling with them and won’t have a problem having them in my bed. I am from Riverwoods and it is soon to be my senior year in college but I have time off now. I also love being active and outside. I have no concerns about anxious dogs and I know they will warm up to me with time. I can crate your dog if needed. For extra outdoor time, I have a a zip line cord to connect to a collar that prevents them from going past a certain point in the backyard since we do not have a fenced in yard. They can roam around there.
13. Tracy M.
About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.
14. Brooklyn P.
“Brooklyn did a great job with our dog Riley and we will definitely have ask her back again in the future. Thanks!”
15. Sydney Z.
“Thank you!”
16. Chris B.
“Chris is great! She's gentle, responsible, and punctual. Our dogs are large and strong and sometimes reactive, so they aren't the easiest dogs to walk, and Chris' maturity and experience made me feel that they were in good hands.”
17. Claire K.
“Claire was communicative, prompt, and flexible. She was confident in handling our dog that is strong and can pull hard on the leash. She was friendly and followed all our directions. Our dog also seemed very happy and comfortable with her!”
18. Grace R.
“Grace is a wonderful dog walker, she quickly became our two boys favorite. Thank you so much and will always use Grace for walks when possible.”
19. Danielle & Chris M.
About: Our family of four cared for and loved our American Bulldog, Lola, for 10+ years. Recently (her last six months), she required frequent meds and extra attention. So, we know how to handle dogs in a similar situation. Sadly, our Lola is no longer with us. But, we're eager to shower your dog with lots of TLC. *If you are a first time customer, please contact me to arrange an initial meet and greet. In addition to me, there's often someone else around. My husband is a teacher and is a dog lover. Plus, our teenage boys will gladly run around and play with super active dogs. But, I'm the person in charge and will supervise. So, contact me and let me know what you need. I am flexible and will work it out. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, please let us know. We will make sure we don't board other dogs at the same time. We have a fenced in dog run for quick bathroom breaks. We live in a family friendly neighborhood with an open field two minutes away and lots of dogs walking around. Getting your dog exercise is not a problem at all!
20. Chelsey H.
“Chelsey is great with our dog. He’s a little anxious around new people, but Chelsey was kind and patiently worked with him until he felt comfortable. He quickly warmed up to her and had a great time. I’ll be using Chelsey regularly.”
