We booked Michael at the last minute for 5 days. He came over for a meet and greet and Billie seemed to like him right away. Michael sent daily updates with pictures. Billie seemed to be great! Michael also agreed to feed our frog (he eats live crickets). We were very happy with our first Rover experience!

Beth was reliable and attentive to our dog while we were away! Our flights were delayed in return and she was excellent with communication and reliability to make sure we had coverage. Thank you Beth!

Gabi’s services were 100% awesome. We have a quirky dog and she came over once a week for a few months before we left to get our dog comfortable with her. She kept us informed and went above and beyond to make us feel secure when leaving our home and pets in her care. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! Very diligent and respectful.

Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.

Kevin was wonderful. We could not have been more confident in his ability to care for our pup during our trip. He asked all the right questions and truly paid attention to detail. During the stay, he sent plenty of updates and pictures which made us so happy to see! He was prompt, professional, and friendly! Our normally nervous pup warmed up to him almost immediately which just shows how lovely he is. Ollie loved him! He drew us a custom picture of Ollie and it truly is the coolest thing ever. We’ll be hanging it up! If you’re looking for a sitter who is attentive and will love on your animals the way you would, Kevin is your guy! Thank you Kevin for taking great care of Ollie!

Marissa was the most responsible sitter ever! She had to deal with some crazy things thrown her way while she was with us. Our fence fell down from the wind, one dog had tummy troubles and the our flight home cancelled ohh and it snowed. Marissa handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations!! She sent pics and update often and communicated with us the whole time. She even took on the difficult job of walking our 3 dogs at the same time. We would love to have Marissa back anytime. The pips loved her and I can tell she really cared about them too!

About: With over a decade of personal pet care experience, many of my friends, family, and family friends depend on and put their trust in me to take care of their fur babies! I am in school online, so I am always home! This means I can care for & keep your pups and kitties company 24/7. I am usually available. At my home, pets have free roam of the downstairs area, as well as access to a big fenced in yard. There is plenty of room to wiggle, wag, and play! In a clients home, I follow their instructions & routines specific to their pet. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy! My pet care is attentive, including feeding, many walks, play time, and any other needs the pet may have.

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.

I am so happy to have book with Rebeca and next time I am in Chicagoland I will definitely book with her again! Thank you Rebeca!!!

Stephen was great. We were extremely nervous about leaving Ellie overnight. She has been with us a year, but we have not left her alone very much. We weren’t sure how she would react. Stephen worked with us and kept us informed the whole time. His constant communication was fantastic. We look forward to using him again.

Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!

I was extremely skeptical about trying it Rover, as we have two great Danes that not everybody could handle. However, circumstances forced us to get sitters, and I couldn’t be happier with how things worked out. Denis and Nikki more responsive, reliable, and provided a great stay for our pets. They took careful notes of all of the care instructions, and were fantastic with updates while we were away. We will absolutely use them again and cannot recommend them enough.

Marissa was AMAZING. She stayed at our house with our anxious dog Nicko for a week. Every single day he went on a loooooong walk, or to the park, or both! And that was even when she was a bit under the weather. I’m pretty sure our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. Her communication was consistent, lovely, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She will definitely be our go to girl moving forward.

Lamar was an amazing pet expert and friend to Mango. He suggested a pre meet and greet which was so thoughtful and helpful. The meet and greet allowed Mango to get to know him in advance with no threat of us leaving. She literally took to him from the minute he arrived and it really never changed. His enthusiasm and expertise are apparent immediately as are his strong desire to understand the pet and the owners objectives. We are looking forward to many more playdates with Lamar and Mango!
