“Joerg and Lake were so great to Kobo! I was updated everyday with photos. They answered any questions promptly. They exceeded my expectations! I am happy that Kobo and Elizabeth got along and became the best of friends. Thank you!!!!”
“The guys were great with Louie again this week. They’re always reliable and keep him social and well cared for while I’m away! I cannot recommend them enough! My travel schedule has increased temporarily and it brings so much peace of mind knowing Louie people who truly care! Louie is extremely excited to see them during every drop off.”
“Miss Ada was in good hands with Sophie & Sean! They welcomed her into their home and made her feel like she was on vacation. I received regular updates and pictures and knew our furbaby was in good hands! Thank you Sophie & Sean!! <3”
“Rima was wonderful! Thank you so much for watching my babies on short notice. They are small dogs and usually stay at home - I was so happy when I picked them up and they looked right at home with Rima.”

About: I have fostered and had dogs in my life. I am attentive and caring to dogs and love them like my own! Life long dog lover! I am work from home so will have constant attention to your pet. Excited for the opportunity to care for them and I always make time. I have space in my apartment for play and fetch. I have a dog run at my apartment and nearby parks and walk routes. Can’t wait
“So friendly and accommodating to me and my Santi boy. He seemed so happy and comfortable arriving home so i KNOW he had a great time. Charise is a true dog lover and i look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!!”
“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“I've had the pleasure of working with Ella and Eli for a few months now, and they've cared for my dog, Lola, multiple times. Every experience with them has been fantastic! They are incredibly responsive, genuinely care about pets, and are always reliable. I never have to worry when Lola is in their hands. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“Margaret was an exceptional pet sitter. She kept us updated with wonderful photos throughout our entire trip and was consistently communicative and responsive. Our dog received excellent care and walks. We would highly recommend her — your pet will be in great hands.”
“We were nervous to travel but were put at ease knowing our pup Walter was in such good hands. The daily updates were much appreciated and always showed Walter having a great time. I think he was sad to leave!”
About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.
“Andrew and Tatum were wonderful with my pup, Gobby! She is very high maintenance and still working through puppy behavior, and Andrew and Tatum were so kind, responsive, reassuring, and communicate. They went above and beyond taking care of Gobby. I would highly recommend them to watch your pet!”
“Ani is the absolute best!! I boarded my 2 dogs in her home for over a week and she was outstanding. She provided regular updates, sent photos frequently, followed all my instructions, and gave extra care and attention to my dogs during their stay. She also went above and beyond to take them on multiple long walks every day. I would 100% board my dogs with her again. Thank you Ani!!”
“Paul was fantastic with our sheepadoodle, Shibobo! Shibobo can be handful given his large size and energy, but Paul was quick to get to know him and learn how to manage his quirks. Paul was a great communicator and sent us regular updates. Overall, we are so pleased to have found Paul and highly recommend him! We look forward to having him watch Shibobo again soon.”
“Justin was an awesome dog sitter for my lil dude nigel. he was super communicative, assuring and just a great trustworthy caretaker. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
Evanston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rebeca was amazing with my dog Moose, who is a 75 pound American Bully! My dog stayed with Rebeca for 2 nights and 3 days and I cannot give her enough compliments. Not only did Rebeca have a huge yard for Moose to run around in, they were also extremely active for the entirety of the stay and Moose even got to play with some other dogs. Oh and the best part, Rebeca was sure to send me tons of pictures throughout his stay. Rebeca was a great dog sitter and I would easily recommend her to anyone looking.
We are so grateful to have found Paul! Finding someone who understands both our sheepadoodle’s quirks and his lovable personality hasn’t been easy, but Paul has been fantastic. This was our second time booking with him, and he once again exceeded our expectations. We had complete peace of mind knowing Shibobo was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Paul again and highly recommend him to others!
Amanda took care of our one year-old puppy while we were away for a weekend. She picked up our dog, which was a great convenience, sent us photos while we were away, and accommodated a very late pick up after a delayed flight. Amanda was easy to communicate and coordinate with and I would definitely rebook with her!
Diane was amazing. I have two small Maltese dogs with separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving them. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease. She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident. It was a wonderful experience, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I’m already booking with her again for future stays. Highly recommend!
Jennifer took care of our exuberant shepherd mix for a week while we were out of town. She was always communicative and flexible with dropoff and pickup. We never had any worries and he always is excited to visit Jennifer. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!
Cheri was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! Niky was exceptionally well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough. Niky has a bunch of medicine needs and is an older senior dog so she needs a little extra care. Cheri was amazing about it all. Will have her watch Niky again soon!! Great experience.
Ron and Jeff were fantastic sitters for our dog Olive! They were so warm, communicative, and knowledgeable, and we knew Olive was in great hands while we were away. We first set up a daycare visit before our longer trip, and the best part was seeing how excited Olive was to see them again. 💕
Thanks so much for taking such great care of Gromit, as usual! The updates and photos were much appreciated. It was funny to see how he claimed that chair and just took it over (and nice of you to let him claim that space). I highly Recommend Robert -- he'll take great care of your dog.
