“Emily was amazing! From the moment my husband and I met her, we knew we wanted her to stay with Mocha while we were out of the country. Emily currently works remotely which was very important to us as we don’t like to leave Mocha alone for long periods of time. She was in touch daily with pictures and info regarding how Mocha was doing. In addition, we came home to an immaculate house! We will definitely ask Emily to stay with Mocha again.”
“Fiona was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my dog and catered to his needs and schedule. She was very responsive, easy to work with, and left the apartment tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Jade was wonderful and loving with our dog and respectful of our home. This was our first experience with a dog sitter. It was amazing and we would definitely have Jade sit for us again!”
“Angela was amazing with George and was able to help us out when we came to town for the night. She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind and timely. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Gabriela is great. Sent me pictures, followed all the instructions, very punctual and responsible. I have no complaints and would definitely ask her to take care of Babushka again if I am in need of dog sitter.”
“We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.”
“Allison was great - it’s always good when you come home to a happy and relaxed dog, and she kept us updated throughout. Will definitely book with her again when we next go away!”
“Had such a great experience with Gianni! My dog is nervous around new people and she did a great job navigating his feelings. He ended up feeling comfortable around her. She had great communication throughout the visit and I definitely recommend people to reach out to her!”
“Jayden watched my 2 big dogs and cat for a week at my house. They provided frequent updates and administered meds and made sure my picky animals were all well fed. We returned home to a cleaner house than we left it. They were wonderful and I’m so grateful for their care!”
“Connie is fantastic! Excellent communication and took great care of my pets (cat and senior pit bull). My animals absolutely adore her and have already requested that she stays with them again :)”
“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”
“Pablo watched our pup when he was just a little guy and we hadn’t really needed a sitter for a while but when we did, he was our first call! Amazing and respectful as always.”
“Nicole is incredibly communicative. She goes above and beyond with our dog. We were so pleased to have her stay in our home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will be booking again.”
“Alyssa is literally a godsend. I get really anxious about leaving my two pups (a puppy and a senior), but Alyssa was so communicative and thorough that I felt comfortable every day of our 2-week vacation. Alyssa is responsible, always on-time, and organized. Our house looked exactly as we left it! And obviously, she clearly loves pets and ours love her. Highly recommend!!!”
“Duffy loves Maritza. Maritza is so caring and I know Duffy is in good hands while I am way. Maritza is very professional and I greatly appreciate the communication she provides before and during the visit. Words cant express how much I appreciate all Maritza has to offer.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Joz watched my dogs for two weeks and she was great! The communication was perfect! She sent me videos and pics which really helped. She was also very tidy. My home looked nice and neat when I returned. I’m very happy and will definitely be asking her again!”
“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Chauntrell was great sitting my dog and cat over a week long trip. He sent multiple pictures every day and was very detailed. He even checked on routine and if certain behaviors were expected from the pets. My dog was sad to see him go!”
“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”
Douglas pet parents share their Rover experiences
I found and booked Polly at ~3pm for a 5:30pm arrival for my 8 month old puppy, and she was graciously accommodating. She’s new to Rover and to Chicago so she didn’t have any reviews but was happy to provide a reference. Came early to meet my pup, was patient around us getting ready and shuffling around and a home getting packed up to move. My pup was content enough with her to sleep and eat, which is a win. I received pictures and an update. I’d totally book her again! Thank you Polly!
Rahmya was amazing! She was very flexible in setting up a meet and greet and instantly prioritized befriend Stormie. I got lots of updates and update pictures daily of stormie which made the whole process of being out of town much easier. I never felt like Stormie wasn't in good hands. The home was clean and perfectly tidy when we arrived back, which was so appreciated when returning from our trip. I would 100% recommend Rahmya for anyone looking for a pet sitter 💙
Mairead was amazing! She provided wonderful care for our two cats--one of them recovering from a recent bout of gastroenteritis--and gave us great peace of mind during a lengthy trip with daily updates, pictures of the cats, and very hands-on support. We'll be booking Mairead for all cat-sitting from here on out!
Marisa took care of our pups and home for a little over a week while we were on vacation. We have a young mini dachshund who is inconsistent with her potty-ing and a very senior lab. Marisa was very careful and patient with our pup’s quirks. They always seem so happy and tired when we get back! Our home was also spotless, as we left it. My plants also seemed very well cared for. This our second time working with Marisa and would certainly book with her again
Victoria was amazing with our little girl Millie! She sent regular updates and followed all our instructions. Victoria was also very thorough during the meet and greet and asked many relevant questions. Our cavapoo Millie had a great time with Victoria and loved having her around. We would definitely recommend her to other pet parents and look forward to her taking care of our dog next time.
We needed a house sitter on short notice for a longer stay, and Elizabeth stepped in and took care of everything. Very grateful to the daily puppy photos and videos! We came back, and house and dogs were in top shape. Would definitely recommend and hire Elizabeth again.
Annie was amazing! I am so thankful for her kindness to my three animals (two cats and a dog). She was so attentive, communicative, and caring, following all of their care routines by the book! Her love of animals is very apparent. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Annie!
