“Emilie is such a FANTABULOUS find on Rover!! Top notch sitter, truly. Pretty sure my dog enjoyed her stay with Emilie more than I enjoyed my vacation out of state, lol! And her professionalism/trustworthiness made me feel so comfortable despite my initial anxiety for 5 nights away from my dog. Some highlights: Frequent potty breaks and walks, awesome location to explore for dogs by lakefront, an amazing dog to befriend in Bear (so easy-going, gentle, friendly, a great model for a pup to look up to!), can do pickup and dropoff, generally smart with dogs, heard my details requested and followed through on them (feeding, nightime routine, even training exercises my dog does daily, etc.), sincerely cared about my dog's wellbeing (updates were so sweet!), on-time, clear communicator, just all-around A++!”
“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“Really glad I found Volkan & Monica and the kids and Peanut to watch my pooch. While I think my dog is pretty easy to babysit, he has never been with people outside the family for an extended time. He came back just like I dropped him off, only TIRED!!! (Not smelly, not with runny poop, not with attitude from getting abandoned.) He has alot of energy and curiosity so its great that the whole gang kept him occupied. So happy I can drop him off without worries.”

“I had a really good experience with Sara. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog stayed with her and her own dogs, and it felt like a natural fit. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated ,it made being away much easier. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. It’s reassuring to know someone like Sara is out there. I’d definitely book with her again when I need someone I can trust.”
“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She took care of sadie pumpkins and i would ask her again during our next visit. Michelle was responsive, kind and sadie was in no rush to come home! Thank you, Michelle!!”

“Caitlin and Max were amazing sitters. Very personable and flexible with my schedule. However, Bowie (their four-legged son) became Mocha’s new BFF. She already misses all three of them and she’s only been home about an hour. Thanks for watching Mocha!”
“Jennifer was great! She was so sweet to Hazel, clearly treated her like one of the family. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures that reassured us that Hazel was doing well while we were out of the country, and getting along with her dog Tiny. We would absolutely leave Hazel in Jennifer’s care again.”
“Michael goes above and beyond— I feel so lucky we found such an incredible dog sitter. He updated us with pictures and cute anecdotes and I could tell our dogs were getting amazing care. He picked up and dropped off the dogs for us to help us with our trip. Overall just such a kind human… Anyone would be lucky to hire Michael.”
“Miranda is awesome! I felt completely comfortable with her caring for my sweet older rescue dog who makes herself at home on couches and beds. She was prompt in her communication, sent great photos, and just had a great vibe. We will definitely rebook when we need another sitter. Thanks Miranda!”
“Brad and Aaron are amazing!! They give peace of mind to pet owners knowing their dog will be well taken care of. They sent plenty of adorable pics and videos and updates too.”
“Diana went above and beyond taking care of Pippin. He tends to display aggression when scared and she went out of her way to keep him in a calm environment. Once he warmed up she engaged with him doing his favorite activities. Thank you so much for taking care of our Pip!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”

Edgewater dog parents share their Rover experiences
Connor was great! My dogs stayed with him for a week, and I could tell that they had had a good time when I picked him up. He lives in a calmer area and was great with my dogs, one of which has recently become a bit reactive when he gets overly excited. He sent many updates and pictures and was easy to communicate with.
Emilie is the best! The boys were well taken care of. Updates were received daily. And they came back to us happy and clean. We could not have asked for a better caregiver for our little guys while we were overseas. We had zero concerns and felt comfortable the whole time we were away. Emilie living right off the beach is a huge plus as well, they explored the beach daily and that alone can be a fun activity for dogs, so many scents and all the stimulation, how exciting! And they seem to have enjoyed their stay and they must have been kept busy because they were tuckered out when they got home to us. We've been lounging around for the past 48 hours and they've just been the sweetest little snuggle buggles. Whatever Emilie is doing is working well! We'd trust Emilie with our littles again, no doubt! Thank you, Emilie! ♥️ ~ Ana and Tay ~
We felt so great leaving our puppy with Lauren! She and her wife were very communicative, sent pictures regularly, and kept us updated throughout the long stay. Ritz loved the friends he had to play with during the stay as well. We will definitely be using them again!
Danielle was incredible!! Everything you want in a sitter! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her for the long weekend. I got plenty of updates with pictures and could tell how much he enjoyed it. She even took him on a long walk by the lake front. :) would book again and recommend!
Lina was amazing with my dog Zoey while I was on vacation! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell Zoey felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Lina to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!
Amalia was wonderful. We lucked out finding her at the last minute and am so glad we did. Our two golden retrievers had a great time and were in good spirits and well cared for when we picked them up. Amalia sent pictures and updates and clearly loves dogs and having them in her home. She's great!
Abigail, Chris, and their pup Olive are superb hosts, and my corgi Bert always has a great time, whether it’s going on walks at Winnemac park, or snoozing the day away as their work from home companion. On our most recent stay, we had to extend his stay by one day because our travel plans home changed last minute and Abigail/Chris made sure we didn’t have to worry about Bert while we were stranded away from home. They are communicative, accommodating, and caring dog lovers!
Temos place was perfect for my dogs. Lots of cozy places for them to curl up and they were allowed on all the furniture and the beds which was a nice bonus. My dogs are very social so they also enjoyed the company of Temos family. He was also very professional and quick to respond.
I contacted Austin last minute and we set up a time to meet. He lives super close and I got a good vibe from him, so my pug Percy stayed with him for a week while I went on vacation. He was communicative and sent pictures almost every day to let me know that Percy was doing great! I'm thankful he was available right before my trip and I would definitely let him watch my dog again. Thanks so much, Austin!
