“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Patty did great with our Molly, who is a bit of a diva and still working on her social skills. She kept us updated on all her fun and her accomplishments. It felt like going to Auntie's house!”
“Alexandra took amazing care of our shy high-energy pup during a long stay. We loved getting updates and photos, and it was obvious our pup was having a great time. We’d definitely book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m a repeat customer. My very active terrier comes home happy and exhausted (my favorite combination!), so I know she had lots of play time. When we returned the second time she was pulling at the leash like crazy right out of the car, excited to get into that dog-friendly yard and run around.”
“Thank you Demi! She was so flexible when our recent travel plans got complicated. We are so grateful! Demi kept me updated on Khrush’s stay. I’m so grateful to have found a Rover that is so communicative and attentive to our sweet boy. ❤️”
“My little dogs have always stayed with family or a trusted neighborhood sitter, but when no one was available for an overnight, we were happy to find Bari. My pups were happy with the combo of activities (walks, a dog park visit) and relaxing on Bari’s couch. My 10 year old mini schnauzer has a bit of separation anxiety, but she, as well as my schnoodle, had no problem making themselves at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with Bari again.”
“I had a mix up with other care and Katherine was able to accommodate Tashi over Christmas in a pinch! I felt super comfortable with her caring for Tashi and her two resident dogs made Tashi feel like she was on a 4 day long play date! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you, Katherine”
“Michael has cared for my rowdy husky several times, and my dog is always excited to see him. He understands her needs and takes good care of her. He also sends a lot of pictures and updates, which I truly appreciate!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I needed to go out of town for a night and left my Husky/Rottweiler puppy Ziggy, for Noelle to watch. He came home calm and so well behaved. I’m definitely checking with her next time I need help with my pup!”
“Tammi was great with my reactive German Shepherd. She sent me photos and let me know how he was doing daily. Communication was great. I appreciated that she was available on short notice. Highly recommend her! Will book again! Thanks!”
“Ali had a blast with Roy! Roy allowed a meet and greet before Ali’s first stay, which helps us feel comfortable. Ali can get nervous in new places, and Roy when above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable. Roy sent daily updates and photos. Now that we are home our girl is fast asleep because she is tuckered out. We have already booked with Roy again!”
“Brandee is a dog whisperer! We’re so thankful to have found her. We needed a dog sitter two times in 10 days and our pup couldn’t have been at a better place.”
“Deanna was fantastic! She kept me up to date and shared pictures and videos every day. It was my first time leaving my pup with someone new and he absolutely loved it. He seems to have had a lot of fun as he was very tired once we got back home. I definitely plan on rebooking with Deanna in the future! :)”
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Tessa is the best sitter for my pup Alvin! 🥹 he always has the best time with Tessa and his buddy Ollie. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone watching Alvin. ❤️🐶”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“Deborah is the best! We boarded our puppy (a playful buddy) twice at her place, and it turns out he’s been such a happy camper!! Last time, we left both our puppy and kitty with Deborah for over 9 days. She kept us updated on how thing’s going all the times, so we had a wonderful skiing trip with friends and do not worried about our fur babies at all!!”
“Elizabeth is awesome and took great care of our dog Julius while we were out of town. She sent photos and lots of updates. Would definitely use her again for boarding!”
“Manuel was fantastic! He took Odie to the park multiple times during his stay and provided regular updates with pics! I felt very at ease knowing he was well taken care of.”
Elmhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brandee was super helpful with my pup. He’s large and really needed a lot of training but she was able to be gentle and provide a bunch of helpful suggestions. She helped socialize him with other dogs and was able to relay information about his behaviors. She was super caring and felt like a friend caring for my dog!
Mary is absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated, which really gave me peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. My pup felt safe and comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful and would 100% trust her again!
We had the BEST experience with these sitters! They were truly amazing from start to finish. They sent soooo many pictures and updates throughout the entire stay, which made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent the whole time — I always knew what my dog was doing and felt so reassured. They walked her every day and even gave her a bath at the end of the stay, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. My dog also got to safely play with other dogs and socialize, and she came home happy, relaxed, and totally exhausted in the best way! They are incredibly kind, trustworthy people and we feel so lucky to have found them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking again!
Tammi watched our high energy 7 year old Australian Shepherd and was amazing! She was so communicative, easy to work with and flexible on pick up time when we hit some traffic coming back. Ollie loved staying with her and came home a very happy dog. We will definitely be asking Tammi to watch him again in the future!
Celia was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She was incredibly considerate and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our dogs. She treated them like her own, paid close attention to their needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, which says everything. We would happily book Celia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.
