“We left our dog with them for a week while we were on vacation and everything went smoothly. They were communicative, shared updates, and made sure he was well taken care of. We really appreciated the effort and would definitely consider leaving him there again in the future.”

“Jacob has safe and clean house. He has a soft and kind personality that made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with him. My dogs enjoyed their time with him. Jacob kept us informed with photos while we were away which I appreciated. Jacob also was super flexible and accommodating when pickup got delayed due to flight interruptions. Will be a repeat customer and highly recommend.”

“Jehisson was amazing! He provided lots of updates with photos of my happy pup. It is obvious he had a lot of outdoor fun on his pup vacation. He was outside daily doing walks and playing. Walter came home happy and healthy. I would definitely book with Jehisson again! Thank you so much for taking care of Walter.”


“Anabel did an incredible job watching our husky and maltipoo while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very accommodating and worked around our schedule. She kept us updated with many pictures and videos of the dogs. Coco and Luna had a blast at her house! We would 100% have her watch our dogs again!”

“Jeff & Jirapun were amazing sitters! They were incredibly attentive to our dogs’ needs and took such great care of them during their stay. We really appreciated all the photos and updates they sent, it was so reassuring to see how happy our pups were. They even took them on a little adventure to HEB, which we loved! Overall, they were fantastic sitters, and we could clearly tell our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable sitters. 😊”
“Jimmye Sue and Tom took such great care of our pups that I think my pups had a better vacation than we did! They cared for our dogs as if they were their own and sent pictures and comments every day to let me know that they were doing well. I think we'll work our vacations around their schedule in the future!”

“We had such a great experience with Bekah! We ended up having a day trip we knew would be longer than we wanted to leave our dog home for and she took such great care of him and sent us a perfect amount of updates. She responded super timely and was just great! Our dog came home super happy. Highly recommend.”

“Jerica was super quick at responding to a very last minute request from us to look after Autumn! She was very patient and loving with our girl. Hopefully she’ll be willing to help us out in the future again :)”

“mia was awesome!! she kept me in the loop with daily updates and pictures of our pups playful time together. my pup had a great time. mia followed the care instructions and was easy to communicate with. she had a large crate and playpen all ready for my pup upon arrival :)”

“Amber is very nice!! She sent me pictures of Princess to show me she was ok and doing just fine. Princess had a great time with Amber!! I would definitely use Amber again when I take my next vacation.”

“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”

“She kept me posted with texts and pictures of my dog. He had never been boarded before so I was concerned about leaving him. Everything was good. I would use Megan again for she proved to be a great sitter.”

“Janie is always amazing and Kirby loves her and the other pups! Every time we go to drop him off now he forgets all about us and is just so ready to play. We love having him stay with Janie.”

“This was our first Rover, and I was not sure what to expect - but we had a fantastic stay with Kimberly! It was great that Mia got to spend the weekend there and be treated like one of their own pets! I enjoyed getting several pictures a day to see how she was doing. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing care takers. I was out of town for a week and they always kept me informed and up to date on Wally. They even gave me some tips and ideas for helping with his tendencies. Highly recommend!”


“Arfa was great! She sent lots of pictures during Buddy's stay to keep us posted, and she definitely gave him all the cuddles he needed :) We will be sure to use her again next time! Thank you, Arfa!”

“Isabella was a top notch dog sitter. She was friendly and communicative and checked in daily with pictures of our pup happily enjoying her stay. 10/10 stars, will definitely book again on our next trip! Thank you again Isabella!”

Elgin pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lindsey was absolutely amazing with our dog for the entire week! From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in loving, caring hands. She kept us updated, treated her like part of her family, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and spoiled the whole time. When we received multiple daily updated pics, she was relaxed, well cared for, and honestly looked like she didn’t want to leave! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone so trustworthy, attentive, and genuine. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like they’re her own. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾💕
