“Andrew was great from the get go. He was super responsive and flexible for drop off and pick up. He really enjoyed having Bailey around and Bailey did as well. Would definitely use him again when I need a sitter.”
“Rob again is an outstanding sitter. He goes above and beyond. Plays with Nova daily and gives her so much love and care. I’m in a situation where is travel and he has taken on keeping her as I find her a new forever home.”
“It was my first time using rover and they made it a great experience. Excellent communication! From answering questions to walking me through making a booking request the day before watching my doggo. Whenever I visit Chicago again and need a dog sitter; Susan will be my go to choice.”
“Karen was fantastic with our sweet but quirky cattle dog, Rosie! We were able to enjoy a 10-day vacation because we knew she was well taken care of. We received photos and updates each day and Rosie seemed reluctant to leave her new friend. Highly recommended Karen!”
“Corey and Robert are amazing! They took such great care of my senior doggo who has some health issues. I could tell Pepper felt at home and enjoyed himself and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was being loved on just as much as we love him while we were gone!”
“They were easy to communicate with and Bowie seemed to be having fun! They sent me pictures daily and were responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would use them again.”
“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”
“Yuliia and her husband were great to our dogs. Everyday she would send us pictures and messages to let us know how they were doing. She was very communicative and responsive from start to finish.”
“Alma was amazing with Luka! She was so kind, even when Luka had an accident in her kitchen, and kept me updated with photos and videos. Luka came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her for loving and reliable care!”
“Highly recommended! This was the perfect fit for my pup! Baby is a senior dog with back leg issues, and Janelle went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and felt right at home. The care and attention she provided made all the difference. I didn’t just find a sitter—I found new friends!”
“Elizabeth and David were very responsive and communicated throughout our vacation with pictures and updates on activity. Luna had a great time playing with their friendly dog and kids. We will definitely keep them on our list of preferred dog sitters!”
“Dayana did a great job! We were a bit nervous boarding our dog for the first time but they sent us many photos and videos showing how he was getting along and playing with other dogs, going for walks. It made us feel so much more at ease! Dayana is also very responsive and flexible with timing. Would definitely board with them again!”
“Our Remi is a little challenging, cause she is afraid of people and new places. Jo’Ell kindly offered us couple meet ups with Remi so Remi can get more familiar with her before the boarding. She also provided helpful tips to us that helps Remi to opens herself up. During this stay, Todou and Remi both became very picky with the food, Jo’Ell grabbed some food topper for them and resolved the issue. Super experienced!”
“Yahret and her family showed Diesel a great time while I was away. They treated him like he was their family dog and gave him plenty of attention. I'd recommend Yahret to anyone with a dog who needs a caring person to watch them during a trip.”
“Amazing! Highly recommend Connie. She sent me pictures of Bruno and also has a amazing fenced backyard. Her dog was also adorable and got along with Bruno really well.”
“Leslie and her family were awesome! We are new to the area and needed to book a sitter on last-minute notice. We even needed to extend our stay, and Leslie came through. She was consistent with updates, sending pictures and videos. We know Madeline enjoyed herself and was well taken care of. We will not hesitate to rebook. Thanks! :)”
“My doggie was so happy and I was so pleased and comfortable with the choice I made with booking with Malik I advice everybody to bring there dog to him. I hope in the future he could watch my doggie again I’m so thankful I wish I could give him 10 stars.”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“We cannot recommend Nina enough! She and her partner are so amazing with our dog Apollo. They send so many photo and text updates so we know he’s always well taken care of. Our pup literally RUNS down the street to greet them when we go to drop him off—how rare is that? They’re so amazing and we will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
