“cannot recommend Isabel enough! She is truly the sweetest and most attentive dog sitter I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she made me feel at ease by keeping me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares for dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy, safe, and comfortable, and I never have to worry when she’s around. I fully trust her and plan to book her every chance I get. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, look no further—she’s the best! 🐶💖”
“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”

“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”
“This was Mila’s second visit with Maryann and it was again a success. Maryann is very communicative and takes such great care of our pup. She is awesome and Mila comes home happy and safe!”
“Zasha had a wonderful time with Malique house and she improved her party which is so great I really enjoyed it and I will definitely repeat the boarding care sitter with Malique !”
“Sarah is an excellent communicator and very careful. We had a meet and greet within 24 hours of my request to book where she asked lots of questions to ensure Cooper’s stay would go smoothly. She sent photos and daily updates and was flexible with pickup. I will definitely rebook with Sarah.”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“anely is awesome! my go to babysitter for my girl! she responds quickly and sends regular updates and angel has a great time at anely’s place. would recommend”
“Joseph was amazing and we are so thankful to him. Our pup was starting to become unwell as we left town, and we were so worried about him. We asked Joseph to keep an eye out for his symptoms, and to call us at any time with any new developments. Not only was Joseph extremely empathetic and understanding about the worry we felt, he was extremely attentive to Oso and communicative with us as soon as he noticed changes with Oso. We could tell he would do whatever was needed to make sure our pup was safe. While we were upset to be out of town when Oso started becoming unwell, the fact that Oso was with Joseph reassured us a lot, to know that he was in a safe pair of hands. We are extremely grateful to him and his family, and would happily use him as a Rover again. Highly recommended!”
“Would 100% request Anita again. I'm am touched by her care for my pups, the daily updates, and shared media. I lucked out with her😭. I'm so glad coco played well with her dog 😍”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. She made him very comfortable. She was communicated throughout the whole stay. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures. I would definitely be using her service again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Leaving our dog Winnie with Cierra was one of the easiest Rover experiences we have had! Winnie seemed right at home from our first meeting! Loved getting pictures of our dog while away travelling! Easy recommendation.”
“Jay and Faith made Sweet Pea’s first hang out so smooth! I’m an anxious human but they made me feel at ease, and I can tell Pea felt very comfortable as well as she spent her time lounging around and relaxing. Definitely a trusted pair dogs, including the special ones that require a little more structure. A++”
Elmhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Robert did a great job taking care of our beloved dog. He sent pictures through out the stay to show how comfortable and at ease she was. Robert was caring for our dog when an unprecedented snow storm hit and I didn’t worry for a second because I knew she was in good hands. Robert was very kind and gentle with our pup and she came home with us very happy. Would recommend to anyone and will try to use him again in the future!
Isabel and her family took such great care of Bernie. She sent a detailed update daily with photos, and I could tell she genuinely cares for him. That means so much to me when I entrust someone to watch my precious boy. He got along great with their dog, Griggs, too! Thank you, Isabel!
I recently had Malique care for my dog, Rex, and I was thoroughly impressed. Malique was incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to calls or texts, which made me feel at ease right from the start. I was a bit nervous at first because there were several dogs when I dropped off Rex, but Malique introduced them carefully and gradually. It was reassuring to see them bond before I left. Malique stuck to Rex’s schedule, and even when I had a few delays, he kept me updated with texts, ensuring Rex was happy and cared for. I truly felt comfortable leaving Rex with Malique, and the updates were a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend!
Sierra was great. Foxy was hesitant at first but didn't come rushing out at the end of the weekend so I think she had a good time. It might have been Sierra's heated blanket that won her over! She will be staying again next weekend so obviously I am very happy with Sierra's care.
I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she started caring for my puppy, Sancocho, I knew he was in the best hands. Not only did she go above and beyond in meeting his needs, but she treated him with so much love, patience, and attention as if he were her own. What meant the most to me was the constant communication. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me he was happy, safe, and well cared for. As a puppy parent, that level of thoughtfulness and transparency made all the difference. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. She exceeded every expectation, and I came home to a well cared for, happy pup. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate, she is the one. I would trust her with Sancocho again in a heartbeat!
Boa was an actual lifesaver this past week! Dunkin was supposed to fly with me on my trip but was turned down at the airport. Boa was able to accept Dunk into her home and was so accommodating to my asks. She sent me multiple pictures a day! Strongly recommend and will love to book with again!
Dorota’s home is my dog’s home away from home. They do a wonderful job caring for the dogs who stay with them, from monitoring personalities to capturing the fun in pictures, and ensuring the dogs have lots of backyard playtime. My dog runs up their steps to greet them every time.
Tammy did an amazing job taking care of Jovie. She kept us updated daily with texts and pictures. It made us feel very comfortable she was taking care of Jovie while we were away. You can tell Jovie and her have a bond and she is great with dogs. Would highly recommend Tammy!
We had a great experience with Robert. He did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He provided status and photos during the stay which made us, as first time users of the service, very comfortable. I would recommend his services and use him again if we are in need of sitting.
