“Dave and Mary were amazing to our pups. They were very flexible when our flight was delayed and one of the pups needed extra medicine during our absence. Their communication and pics were very reassuring and almost daily. Couldn't have left my dogs with anyone better. Awesome experience. Will use again for sure!”

“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”

“Steph was great. My dog enjoyed running around the yard, playing with her pup, and relaxing when he wanted a break. Steph sent updates during the stay, which I really appreciated. Her home was clean and welcoming, and my dog was his normal happy self when I picked him up. Drop off and pick up were easy, and she was flexible with timing. I would happily book with her again.”

“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Kent. Our dog received 100% of his attention and care the entire time. The daily updates and photos gave us total peace of mind. We will definitely book with him again.”

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!
About: Hello, I’m a mother of one, and we own a Siamese cat named Atlas. We had a dog a couple of years ago and he has since passed due to an accident and as we’re opening our hearts to the thought of a new member we’re also opening our doors to care for pets while we go on our own journey of finding our own Canine Best Friend. We reside in a a very safe- family friendly neighborhood.( Elgin, IL) Our cat; Atlas stays indoors and in his own room as he likes his privacy so there is no worries about anccidental ill encounters. Since I am a home-maker, a have a lot of time on my side. My regular routine with a toddler is very active in terms of going outside, going for walks, running etc and we wake up everyday with the same goal. “Be tired by the end of the day” 🏃🙏 Yard is UNFENCED. All dogs will be on their leash when playing in the yard. If they have an EXTENDED length leash, it’d be great for them to run around more freely!
“First time using Rover. My dog is a little shy around a new environment, but her care quickly put him at ease and he had a great time! Lots of videos and photos were provided. We're so glad to meet Niratcha. Thank you so much!!! He will return to you soon.”

“Michelle is a wonderfully kind dog sitter who truly understood Mochi’s personality. She was incredibly thoughtful—even bathing Mochi late at night and double-checking the sleeping arrangements to ensure everything was just right. Her own dog, Sam and Mochi happily played and napped together; Michelle sent me heartwarming photos every day. Although this was my first time asking her for Mochi’s boarding, She did a great job taking care of my dog. If schedule works I would like ask her again !”

“Gumbo always gets spoiled with you and I know that I never have to worry about him during his stay. Thanks for making him and us feel so comfortable. Thanks for all the pictures. He’ll see you again soon! 😊”

“Highly recommend Rusty. On our meet & greet, he carefully introduced Kali to Banjo both outside and then inside to ensure no personality clashes. He asked many questions to ensure he knew Kali and her needs. On our drop off date, she immediately greated Rusty as an old friend. He took great care of Kali, sending messages & videos daily. His house and fenced yard are perfect for dogs. Kalid came home clean (even tho it rained a lot), happy, and tired! He responded quicky to our frequent txt updates on drop off & pickup times, due to traffic issues. Will book again and recommend him for your doggy care.”

“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”

“Elizabeth took outstanding care of our dog, sending photos and offering lots of time for play and cuddles. Great communication, photos; responsible; easy drop-off. Highly recommend!!”
“Kristina is a wonderful sitter! Very quick to respond and very communicative. Cassie was happy, made new friends, and we got photos and little updates daily. Will definitely be a returning client! ❤️ Thank you!”

“Shweta is a great person who can take care of our little pets with great affection. I left my puppy for several days and she was so regular in sending daily updates and sending pictures of my puppy. I would recommend her care if you are looking for a compassionate pet care giver. Senthil”

“Elisa was the BEST dog sitter for my pup, Penny. I was caught in a bind and needed a sitter for my 6 month old puppy at the last minute. Elisa took such good care of her, and kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout her stay. She felt so comfortable knowing Penny was in good hands and felt safe with Elisa. I will definitely reach out to Elisa the next time I need a sitter! I can't thank her enough!”

“Excellent and attentive service! We really appreciate the time and care Rosie showed our dog. She made sure to keep us informed and shared pictures of his stay. We will definitely use her services again.”


“Cheyenne has thr perfect set up to watch animals. Her home is super dog friendly and she was able to easily accomidate both my dogs, one of which was less excited about playing with new friends. She was able to accomidate that and handled them beautifully. We plan on being back!”

“Karin was wonderful with our dog, Cooper. She took him on several walks per day, played fetch with him and treated him like he was her own dog. Karin updated us daily with pictures and texts. Karin is very easy to work with and allowed Cooper to have the run of her house. He was very comfortable with Karin and so were we and we would highly recommend Karin to others. We will be using Karin as a dog sitter in the near future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fox River Grove
I don’t think words can emphasize just how positive an experience working with Carolyn was. Our 13-year-old Chihuahua mix has had some long-standing trust issues and can be stand-offish to strangers. Carolyn was able to gain our dogs’ trust each day while also providing the highest level of care and communication possible. For our little dog to feel comfortable with a new person speaks volumes to the type of patience and compassion Carolyn provides. We received daily updates and photos from Carolyn to reassure us our pet was well taken care of and to communicate any questions or tips to make his stay more comfortable. He received plenty of walks and interaction to stimulate him throughout the day and tire him out for a good night’s sleep. Our little guy barked and howled the first night, but Carolyn stayed patient and by the second night he was completely settled in and sleeping through the night. I highly recommend working with Carolyn and we will continue to work with her any time we need someone to watch our little dog.

We had another wonderful experience with Kelly. Charlie stayed with her and her pups for the weekend-and it just happened to be Charlies 3rd Birthday. She went above and beyond celebrating him with homemade dog-friendly cupcakes, which was so thoughtful and adorable. It gave us such peace of mind that he was not only looked after but truly cared for. Once again he came home happy, healthy and relaxed. We are very grateful for the extra effort Kelly put in to make his Birthday special!! Highly recommend her to anyone.

Jill was super great. She took amazing pictures of the pups and sent them to us as an updatem they were vetter than any pictures that i habe ever taken. She has a nice little yard that is fenced in and she was super understanding and kind about our return travel being delayed causing us to get back to pick up the dogs later than we had originally planned. We would rebook her again in a heartbeat.
