“This was the first time we've had someone stay in our home to watch our dog while we were away and Emily was wonderful! She was very attentive to his needs and was able to manage his anxiety meds and special diet. We really appreciated all the photos and detailed updates every day! I would certainly recommend Emily!”

Douglas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mairead is a modern day Snow White. I returned to two happy and well cared for cats. Even my neighbor's cat stopped by to visit. And my millipede, which I hadn't seen for a month, made an appearance! I am especially grateful that Mairead provided expert care to my one cat that requires medication and a specific diet. I would 100% book with her again.

Allison has been an amazing dogsitter for our dog, Max. This is the third time we’ve worked with her, and she continues to exceed expectations every time. She’s reliable & communicative, and most importantly Max is always happy and well taken care of when we return. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Highly recommend Allison!

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 💙

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.
