“Very satisfied with the service they provided for my lil luka. I appreciate them asking when I had questions and sent pictures and videos through out the service. Thank you for your wonderful service.”

“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”

“My dog had a great time. She has a great dog as well and mine came home happy and tired. Was sent a picture or two every day and was very prompt to my messages. Would stay again.”

“the absolute best! we left our puppy for around two weeks for the first time and they took wonderful care of her! our dog absolutely loved her time there and she looked so happy during boarding! if you’re looking for a pet-sitter book here!! thank u again!!!”

“Michelle provided amazing care for my dog and had great communication throughout. She boarded my dog for 6 days and sent multiple pics and updates daily. I would highly recommend her and would book with her again.”

“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”

“I’m really happy I left Kaiku with Paul. He took excellent care of him, gave him long walks, they went to the beach, and he kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time. Communication was great. I’ll definitely book with him again. Thanks, Paul!”

“Jennifer is fantastic! We needed a last minute sitter for the 4th and she was able to board Miso no problem! Jennifer was very prompt with communication and kept me updated with pictures! Will definitely board here again.”

“Whitney was absolutely wonderful! Booking with her was super easy as she was so responsive. We just recently adopted a dog and suddenly had to leave town due to a family emergency. Whitney was so helpful and made me feel at ease leaving our new pup with her. Morn is a nervous-nelly, but she made him feel at home and I didn't worry about all his needs being met. I got picture updates and messages which helped set my mind at ease even more. She went above and beyond from picking up our boy at 7:30 AM to bathing him and giving him all the attention he requires. I would recommend Whitney to anyone with a dog who needs some TLC while their human is away.”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”

“This is the second time that Suzanne has watched Luna, and as always she went above and beyond. Luna had a funny tummy right before her stay and then her allergies started acting up and Suzanne took it in stride and made sure that Luna was eating the bland diet that we brought with Luna and even went out to get some Benadryl for her allergies after we realized I had forgotten to include it with Luna’s things. Suzanne will always be my first choice to watch Luna when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much!!”

“I can’t explain how flexible Keeley was. My grandma passed away suddenly and without hesitation, Keeley offered to watch Bane. She provided daily updates and took tremendous care of him. I highly recommend her our professionalism and flexibility while understanding is unbelievable. Thank you so much for everything during a difficult time in my life. Once again I highly recommend her”

“This was our first time using Rover and Clarissa made this a wonderful experience. Communication was great and she will tailor to your pups personality and needs! She was warm and friendly and I am pretty sure my pup wanted to stay a little longer. 😆”

“We had a wonderful experience! Great communication, received lots of updates and photos, and we could see that our dog was happy, comfortable, and relaxed during her stay. Highly recommend John and Ryan!”

“Myriam was amazing! 100 stars! She is very intuitive, a great communicator and very caring with my furry friend! I would recommend Myriam to anyone and everyone. Thank you!”

“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”

“Bithia was very welcoming of our two pups and treated them like her own! Kept us informed and sent pictures throughout our trip which kept us at ease while being out of the country. Would highly recommend!”
Evanston pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an excellent experience with Emily and Lauren, and we would absolutely book with them again. They went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was comfortable and cared for. They even followed all of her medical instructions perfectly and kept us thoughtfully updated without too many messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. What really stood out was how attentive and compassionate they were. They made sure our girl got all the care she needed and even slept with her to keep her calm and monitored overnight the way we normally would at home. It meant so much to know she was in such caring hands while we were away. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own and handle special care situations responsibly, we highly recommend them.

Janelle took great care of our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. She sent pictures of the girls throughout their visit that included exploring the lake front and quiet relaxing times at her place. As our girls age they are requiring medication and special treatment and Janelle accommodated their needs.

Narius warmed up right away with Grace, who had a very sensitive way of being with him. She was always quick to respond to texts and let me know how he was doing regularly. Because of the East Coast blizzard and flight cancellations I twice had to delay my return, and Grace was quick to respond and ease my mind that she could extend Narius' stay with her.

Our dog had the best time with Rae and her partner! Their care, hospitality, and attention are truly exceptional. After a few stays with them, he gets wildly excited the moment he realizes where he’s going, tail at full speed and pulling his leash straight toward their home. It’s so clear he genuinely loves them, and we feel totally at ease knowing he’s in such warm, thoughtful hands. Highly recommend! 🐕❤️

Amazing sitters! We were super anxious because we had not left our senior dog with a sitter for some time and Bethany did a wonderful job of sending lots of pictures and updates. Our dog already misses them and their dogs, which is a clear indication of how well they took care of her. Absolutely recommend them, especially if you have a dachshund.

Mariia was wonderful with our doggo Sora! He stayed with her for two weeks and she was so attentive and responsive to us. She updates us thoroughly and asked us how often we wanted to be updated. She is so sweet and will definitely book again!! Thank you again, Mariia!
