“Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”
“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”
“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”
“EK was amazing with my Simba. We stayed in Chicago for a month and needed a puppy sitter a few times and EK was the perfect choice. Glad we found her and I'll be using her again whenever Simba has to come to Chicago with us. He had a great time and she was a great sitter.”
“Katrina loves dogs and did an amazing job watching Moku! She asked all the key questions and provided us with updates and photos every day! Moku clearly had a great time!”

“While I’m away, I feel super comfortable having my 4 dogs with Jennifer. I miss my dogs and it helps so much that she sends videos and pictures of my babies. She’s flexible and it helps with my last minute schedule. Super duper appreciative of her!!! Returning for a 3rd time tomorrow. :)”
“Barbara, thank you for always taking such good care of our senior Yorkie, Dallas. We can tell how comfortable he feels staying, with you and it means a lot to us.”
“Without a doubt, the pet-sitting service I've used is top-notch. Extremely meticulous and prompt, we easily trust our cat (Boots) to Guillermina's care. Guillermina has shown exceptional professionalism, a keen eye for detail, and a remarkable understanding of Boots (our cat). Guillermina is highly dedicated and efficient in her work. She consistently sends out pictures and messages daily, diligently following all instructions. Her efforts are greatly appreciated by Boots, who adores her! Guillermina deeply understands animals due to her extensive experience and impressive track record working with cats and dogs. We plan to have her care for our Boots and dog (Yolly) during our upcoming trip soon! Guillermina is an exceptional sitter with a warm and caring personality towards cats and dogs; you will not regret it! Thank you again, Guillermina, for all you did for our Boots; YOU are the best!”
“Thankful to have met Susan & her grandson to help me care for my little kitty Church. This is the second time I've boarded him while I was away for my studies. I felt very comfortable leaving my little man knowing he was cared for as I care for him at home. Highly recommend to board ✨”
“Sarah was very sweet with our older dog. She sends great updates and pictures, she's prompt to respond, and is flexible. All the things you hope for in a caregiver for your pet. Already booked again because of how well she cared for Zorra.”
“Sheredyn took great care of Beau. Her regular photos were a reassuring bonus that he was behaving himself and having a great time. She was so easy to coordinate with and showed a lot of care/attention to details to make sure Beau was well cared for during his time with her.”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Gage Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christian was an awesome sitter for my beloved fur angel. I needed to find a sitter last minute as my usual sitter had a family emergency. Christian was within walking distance of my home. Took Oakley to her second favorite park (which he lives by) in the neighborhood regularly for catch. Sent me updates with photos and was very communicative when needed. I honestly cannot recommend him enough, I swear I think he might have even given her a bath before I picked her up. 10/10 experience, would absolutely recommend.
Thank you to both of you that cared for our 5 dogs. I know it wasn't easy to accommodate all of their crates and also to one of my dogs who likes to get out of places. I also appreciate the videos and pictures you all sent to show how they were doing. That put my heart at ease.
Jacky and Leo are the best! Consistently provided updates and pictures of Baxter during his visit. Bax has a lot of energy and Jacky and Leo had no issues adjusting. Their puppies treated Bax like family and seem to be having a great time together. Definitely will book with Jacky and Leo going forward!
