“We were thrilled with our experience with Maureen's care. We recently left our two westies with Maureen for a week. Maureen is so pleasant and a true dog lover which is very apparent when meeting her. She has a fenced back yard with plenty of room to roam. Her own two 'boys' are very good natured golden retrievers who wanted to play. Maureen's house is well situated for dog care, with plenty of room, yet able to isolate areas' with gates if helpful. I think in our case, what made our experience especially positive was receiving a daily phone text/picture from Maureen showing our westies during their day and a little note about their day. Was such a comforting touch. Maureen was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up time. We were very pleased and would highly recommend Maureen's service. Bill & Donna (Gurnee, IL)”
“Our Charlie seemed happy and content with his stay at Kim’s. His tail was wagging when I picked him up. Kim kept us informed about his stay & sent pictures. We would definitely refer her to anyone who needs her services. And we will definitely have her sit Charlie many more times. So thank you Kim.”
“Katerina was wonderful with Roger. Her fenced yard was perfect for him to run around. She took him for walks and spoiled him rotten in her home. We received photos and videos throughout his time with her. We will definitely request Katerina again when we need a dog sitter!”
“Barb is a true dog lover and such a kind person! We felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her two dogs. They got along very well and her daily text updates and photos reassured us that things were going well and no need to worry! Highly recommend Barb as a trusted dog caretaker!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my dog reactive baby but Jenny made me feel at ease while Queen was with her. She followed my rules and provided the specific communication I requested. I will definitely use Jenny again :)”
“Brianna was amazing with our little special needs older pup. He has medical needs, blind and overall high maintenance and Brianna treated him such TLC. In fact, she went above and beyond trying to find the right toys for him to keep him engaged. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Brianna.”
“Our dog’s stay with Michelle was longer than in prior stays but I received the same service - attention and daily detailed updates! My observation- she’s meticulous with the dogs and very detailed with their care. You can tell that she cares for them. Appreciate the help as always and will use her services again in the future!!”
“Sunshine and her kids are amazing! Easy communication and a lot of pictures. Lolla is back home and for the first time she’s not stressed with our absence. I highly recommend Sunshine.”
“We boarded our dog with Jessica for 14 days! Jessica and her big family were great! We have a senior greyhound who needs medication/supplements due to arthritis and bad teeth, is a bit on the fragile side and can get easily injured, does not like to be left alone by himself EVER (we're working on it lol), and can be a bit grumpy about personal space boundaries sometimes. Despite this house having 2 adults, 6 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 birds, Jessica and her family keep the house SPOTLESS and there is a great balance for senior dogs to have quiet time and social interaction time because the kids are gone at school for a lot of the day and then they come home and hang out with him! Jessica makes sure her kids know the dog's limits for personal space and she upholds that her kids follow them. Plus, her kids have had experience with older dogs in the past so they know what to expect anyway. The cats pretty much kept to themselves and left our greyhound alone and their shiba is very sweet and chill and pretty much kept to herself too I think because she was like OMG that dog is big!! Jessica is a stay at home mom and with a big family, someone is ALWAYS home which is perfect for a dog like ours with separation anxiety. Lastly, their house has quite a bit of hard flooring including at the top and the bottom of the stairs which can be very intimidating to our greyhound at times and she did a wonderful job guiding him and making him feel secure going up and down the stairs every time and made sure he never went by himself. Jessica and her family also did a spectacular job of pampering and giving attention to our noodle (maybe even more than we do at home haha!). Most of the day he hung out on their couch and in the evenings they even let him on their bed, and every morning before school, she said each kid pet him goodbye! Lastly, Jessica sent several updates and pictures every 1-2 days of him and she always let us know if she had a question or if she was unsure about something. I am happy to have found her and I am happy to be her first Rover client and review!!! We will definitely be using her any time we go on vacation from now on!”
“Hannah was amazing with our 9‑month‑old puppy, Romeo! She took such good care of him, made sure he was fed on time, and went out of her way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were gone. She kept sending us the cutest pics and videos, which really helped us relax on our trip. Romeo clearly had the best time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking her again every time we need boarding for Romeo. Highly recommend her to any friends looking for a super sweet and reliable pet sitter!”
“A wonderful caring experienced dog sitter for my energetic little Shorrky! What more could I ask for!? I had no worries and felt confident Abby was being well taken care of and loved… will be back!! Everything was great!!”
“Keira & her boyfriend were so sweet to my dog. She loved staying with them & was so tired when she got home. They sent me so many photos & updates. Would definitely recommend & rebook!”
“Kyle was a great sitter for our cavapoo. He sent us pictures while we were away and kept us informed about what Buddy was doing and what he was feeling. We were smiling and laughing at Kyle's comments and at the pics he sent. We could enjoy our vacation knowing that Buddy is well taken care of. We will continue to book with Kyle anytime we are out of town. thank you so much!”
“My wife & I recommend Ewa very highly. She took the best care of our dog & kept us updated with pictures the entire time. Her lovely home & large backyard provided a great setting for our dog to socialize with other pets. Lucy looked perfectly happy when we picked her up. We look forward to having Ewa pet sit our Lucy again!”
“We left our giant Berner with Carisa for a week and it went very well. Carisa is patient and kind, she sent as updates and we would certainly recommend and book her again.”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”

This was our first time leaving Piper (our 70 lb. Golden retriever) with Alicia. The choice was easy. She had experience and there was a fenced yard. Piper is difficult to walk. Ali asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. Ali was an excellent care giver! She sent daily pictures which were greatly appreciated! Piper looked happy and right at home. It appears her children enjoyed having a dog around! She said Piper would be welcomed back anytime. We will definitely book with her again.
