“Well where do I start! She is the sweeetest thing ever! Took such great care of my son and listened I explained the feeding time and what NOT to give him! He will most definitely be back! ✨✨”

“Esha & Vineeth hosted our lab for spring break and she seemed very comfortable! They shared lots of updates throughout the week and were easy to coordinate plans! Thank you again!”

“We boarded our two little girls with Lisa and her dog loving family. They have a lovely home with a large fenced backyard and they also walked our dogs which was a great treat. We could tell the girls were well taken of from the happy look on their faces from the photos Lisa sent. An owner knows when their dogs are pleased and delighted. We were so glad we found Lisa on Rover, you will be too.”
“My dog, Kate , had an excellent experience with Sarah and her family. Her communication skills were top-notch as daily feedback and pictures were shared with me. Thank you again Sarah for providing your loving home to my dog.”

“Adriana was great! I left my pup for the first time ever for several days with her. She was so great in keeping me updated on his well being and he even got to make new friends! She’s also very accommodating. I definitely plan on having my pup stay with her when needed.”

“Many thanks to Phyllis and her husband for taking great care of our two dogs. They are great — very responsive, professional and loving! We look forward to seeing them at the end of the month when we are at a wedding!”

“Tyler and his wife took great care of Ernie. They sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on his stay. They gave him his medication and even kept him company when he was hiding from thunderstorms in their bathroom. We would definitely use them again!”

“Denise is an excellent pup caregiver! She is knowledgeable about dog care and did execptionally well with our puppymill rescue Maggie who is usually very timid and shy. Maggie took to Denise right away and was kissing her hand and going to her for pets and ear rubs during our meet and greet. Maggie's tale was wagging in the update photos sent and she ate and took her meds without any issues. I highly recommend Denise and will definitely use her again!”

“Amanda and her family were wonderful with my dog, Scout. Amanda was very communicative and responsive when planning Scouts stay. While we were away she sent lots of texts and it was clear that her family loves having dogs in their home. I loved knowing Scout was very cared for and loved on while we were gone.”

“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”

“I contacted Isabel via Rover.com about a week prior to Sparky needing a sitter. Isabel promptly replied and gave me some information about herself and where Sparky would be staying. We set up a meet and greet with Sparky shortly after. Sparky felt right at home immediately. There was plenty of yard space for Sparky to explore and also a good setup inside for Sparky to sleep. Isabel was friendly and seemed very experienced with dogs and their needs. She asked about any special care instructions and was happy to oblige with anything Sparky needed. Thank you, Isabel, for taking such good care of Sparky! -Anna”

“Susan was SOOO good with our lil doggies (brother and sister Yorkies). She sent updates and pics, clearly communicated with me before drop off and made me feel completely at ease. Our dogs are used to being around people all the time and Susan made sure they felt at home. I knew they were in good hands, well taken care of and snuggled! Highly recommend Susan.”

“Fantastic experience. Great communication! Our Piper (12lb dog) came home tired from fun (not stress)! I’ve have many dog sitting experiences and this was the best. I know my dog and she doesn’t hide when she’s been stressed- she definitely had fun on this sleep away for her :-) . I highly recommend.”

“Thank you for taking care of Zeke. I did not have to worry about him. You took care of him like he was your dog and updated me when necessary. You accommodated my changes. I will be rebooking your service in the future.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Mary! They were attentive, reliable, and genuinely cared for my furry friend. My dog seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind during the time away. I highly recommend her services and will definitely use Mary again in the future.”

“Lauren and Anders recently watched our dog Beau and did a wonderful job. We received regular updates and photos. We felt completely confident that they were treating Beau like one of their own pets. Highly recommend their services!”


“Minqi and her husband were so good with Winston. He is a little shy but he warmed right up to them. Minqi sent lots of pictures and even videos so I knew he was in good hands. I would definitely use them again. Thank you”

“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”

Downers Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Izzy was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving Gerdoo with someone I didn’t know because she is so attached to me. Izzy was very understanding and made me feel comfortable. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, and seeing Gerdoo lying next to another dog was so heartwarming. I would definitely trust Izzy with her again.

Denise is an excellent pup caregiver! She is knowledgeable about dog care and did execptionally well with our puppymill rescue Maggie who is usually very timid and shy. Maggie took to Denise right away and was kissing her hand and going to her for pets and ear rubs during our meet and greet. Maggie's tale was wagging in the update photos sent and she ate and took her meds without any issues. I highly recommend Denise and will definitely use her again!

Winnie had a great time with Karen and her family. This was Winnie’s first time during one of the coldest spells in January but he stayed warm and still got his outside time. He was treated as a part of the family and I could tell that he was able to sleep well since he resumed his normal daytime activities with me without total exhaustion. I’ve found a real home for him so that I can resume traveling without the guilt and worries that accompany leaving him.
