“I felt so great leaving Rosie with Tasha and Joseph! They love their dogs and I loved that Roise had some friends to play with! They sent me pics once a day and a nice update!! They treated her just like we do at home!!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”

“Bradley was awesome and super friendly. Clean house with a cut spacious front and back lawn. Provided us with plenty of updates and would definitely take our dogs back to him!”

“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”

“We love sending our dog Bratwurst to stay with Amir! Amir is always kind and communicative and is very knowledgeable about exactly what our dog needs to have a safe and happy experience. Would highly recommend Amir and we will definitely plan to work with him again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters. I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!
“Our pup Onyx loves staying with Taylor and Brian! Onyx gets along great with their two dogs and plays all day with them. Taylor and Brian do a great job being attentive and caring to Onyx. They send us the cutest photos and updates. Taylor and Brian are very kind and good-hearted people, we feel lucky to have found them to care for Onyx. We are repeat customers for a reason!”

“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”

“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”

“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”

“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”


“Karen was very helpful and my dog Dex had a great time when he spent the weekend with her and her family. She sent updates, and pictures of him while i was gone which was great to see. She was also very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and worked with me to arrange the times which was very helpful. Karen is very knowledgeable about dogs and will put effort into making sure that your dog enjoys his vacay. I highly recommend Dog Gone Fun Camp for your dog's vacation.”
“Dion is a wonderful, responsible caregiver. He is kind and thinks of all safety contingencies. He is the kind of caregiver that one wants to have. And he loves dogs and has a very nice one. Our small pup Susie has fears of thunderstorms and also of being touched in certain ways, and Dion quickly won her over. He even took her on three walks per day. I can’t recommend anyone more highly. If/when we go away on a trip, he will be our go-to person.”

“Kenneth did an amazing job caring for Ava while I was gone. This was my first time using Rover, so I was extremely nervous, but he made the entire experience very comfortable. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, followed all of the care instructions I left, and clearly treated Ava like she was his own. It was a huge relief knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Kenneth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Would definitely book with him again!”

“Great communication and very friendly! When we picked up and dropped off our pup their house was very clean. Our pup was super excited to see us when we picked her up but you could tell she was very comfortable with Jenna and her husband! They treated her like their own! Would recommend and would use her again!”


“This was our first time using a Rover and Kelti was absolutely amazing! Our pup Willow had such a good time and was well taken care of. We appreciated all the updates and photos Kelti provided. We would definitely rebook with her again!”

“Kimberely was the best sitter I have had. I could tell my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time. She stopped to say thank you to Kimberely. Kim creates a loving, safe and fun environment. She watches several dogs at a time which was the best mix for my dog. The dogs were having a dog party every day. I already have Kim booked for my dog's next stay. I know my dog misses Kim already!”

“Jenny is great! My dog had a blast with her and her family over thanksgiving and I love all the adorable photo updates. She is knocked out asleep from all the fun she had. Will book again!”

“Lauren is a wonderful pet sitter! I feel sure my pup felt comfortable, happy, and loved while she was there—the home away from home we were hoping to find. And she sent lots of photo updates that let us know how well our dog had settled in. She gave us great peace of mind the entire time and I’m sure we will use her again!”

Evanston dog parents share their Rover experiences
A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕

I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

This was Mango’s first Rover sitter and as a (possibly overly so) doting dog mom I was a little anxious. Lexi was fantastic, providing daily updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease. Mango, on the other hand, clearly had a great time and enjoyed her vacation thoroughly. I would absolutely book with Lexi again!

Corey was great to work with! He was responsive to messages, sent pictures and gave updates on how our boy, Arlo was doing during his stay! He accommodated our slightly challenging travel schedule that made drop off later than we anticipated, which was very much appreciated! If we’re in the area we would have our dog stay with him again!
