“Dennis came highly regarded- and now we know why! He followed our instructions perfectly, was super communicative, insightful, and kind. Our pets were happy and content for the full 7 day house-sitting stay and we are so grateful. I think our dog is going to miss him! 😂 Thank you, Dennis!!”
“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”
“Nicky took great care of Jojo while I was away on a stressful trip. She sent daily updates and photos and ensured Jojo got out regularly for walks and play time at home. Thank you, Nicky!”
“Charlii did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs during a five-day trip out of the country, and we couldn't be more pleased. This was our first time working with Charlii, but she made a quick bond with both pups that clearly grew during the days they spent together. She sent lovely updates with photos and videos of their adventures and many walks, and was very responsive throughout the housesitting stay. We highly recommend Charlii and the whole family (two and four legged alike) are looking forward to her next visit.”
“This is my second time asking Melina to watch my babies while I was away for longer than I like. Melina is incredible! She’s a great communicator, all my fur babies absolutely adore her…she was even able to hang out with my slightly-less-than-feral kitty! I’m so happy that she’s decided to spend her days loving on critters, she’s perfect for the job! My pup started taking pills twice daily, since the last time that she watched him, and she was up for the job. He took them like a champ from her. I would highly recommend Melina for all your fur baby needs! She’s wonderful! Thank you!!!!”
“Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!”
“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”
“I’m so happy Korin had availability to watch Leo and Oscar! I had never left one of my dogs with a sitter before and he can be shy and nervous. She was great with both of them, super communicative, professional, and friendly. Can’t recommend enough!”
“So glad I found Cathy! Communication was easy, she sent lots of pictures and daily updates while I was away, and I swear my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left ? . My cat was happy, so I was happy, and we'll definitely be booking her again.”
“Anais has watched our dog three times now, and we couldn’t be happier. She has excellent communication, provides regular updates, and takes incredible care of our senior pup with complex medical needs. We always return to a clean home, which is such a thoughtful touch. Anais is a wonderful dog sitter - we highly recommend!”
“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”
“Marina is great! She house/dog sat my two small older dogs for three nights. She is/was dependable, trustworthy and respectful of my house with all its little quirks. If I had a question, she answered right away and sent pictures. The house was as clean as if I'd never left. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about my little dogs. My dogs were very calm and happy when I returned. I doubt they missed me at all. I would definitely hire Marina again.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“We were nervous about leaving our doggie + home with a sitter for the first time, but Aman totally put those nerves to rest! He's incredibly responsive, thoughtful and responsible. Clearly loves dogs. I think he's honestly more careful taking care of our dog than we are sometimes – which is exactly what I look for in a sitter!! Not only did he take care of our pup, but he also helped take care of our home while we were gone (4 nights!) by watering our garden, bringing packages insides, and even taking out the trash cans on trash day. We really appreciate Aman's thoughtfulness and would definitely book with him again!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”
About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs for years, and I love helping them feel safe, happy, and understood. One of my earliest challenges was with my parents’ high-energy dog — I successfully trained him not to bolt out the door when it opened 🚪🐕 (no small feat!). That experience taught me the power of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. 🐶 My Rescue Story I was the sole caregiver for my own rescue dog, who came to me fearful of strangers and unsure around other dogs. Over time, I: • Helped her grow comfortable meeting new people & pups 🤝 • Taught her not to jump on visitors 🙅♀️ • Trained her to “check in” with me before leaving for walks 🚶♀️ • Built her confidence to stay calm when home alone 💤 💛 Why Dogs Love Me Beyond training, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m skilled at reading dog body language 🐕🦺 so I can keep pups comfortable and stress-free. I’m available on weekends, as well as Mondays and Fridays. I’m also happy to stay over on Monday nights, as long as you don’t need me to stay past 8am the following morning. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of exercise and playtime. I pay close attention to their body language and comfort level, so I can adapt my approach to their needs. I also give lots of affection (if they enjoy it!) and keep their environment clean and safe. You’ll get updates with photos so you know they’re happy and cared for while you’re away.
“Rebecca has so far sat for both of my dogs twice, and I can confidently say she did a wonderful job. I have a 4-year-old dog and an 8-week-old puppy, and she came in really open minded to them both being at such different stages in life and not being used to many other people. She's really patient and was willing to help me out during an overnight work shift, which I really appreciate. I felt at ease knowing Rebecca was going to be there which allowed me to not stress over the pups while at work which is a wonderful feeling. I really trust her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

Glenview pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a fantastic experience with Christina watching our dog, Amos, in our home. From the start, her communication was clear and easy, which we really appreciated. She was attentive to his schedule and all care instructions. We loved receiving the frequent photo updates, it was so great to see Amos happy and comfortable while we were gone. We came home to a relaxed pup and a tidy house. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter!
Morgan is an amazing dog sitter. She took such great care of our anxious pup, making sure she had all of her favorite things — long walks, cuddles, treats, etc. Morgan was a great communicator throughout, and she took great care of our home to boot. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
Wendy was able to housesit my puppy after another sitter canceled on short notice, and I’m so glad it worked out that way! From the meet and greet forward it was clear she is super comfortable and experienced with dogs, and during my trip she took all the puppy shenanigans in stride, including doing quite a bit of laundry. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house - thank you Wendy!
Thank you for taking such great care of Nelly and our house, Jana!! Nelly is a sensitive dog, and Jana was so patient in getting to know her on walks before house sitting her for a week while we visited family. Jana's calm energy put her at ease. Thank you so much, Jana!
Chris is an amazing dog sitter, who I feel completely at ease with leaving Jojo pup with while I'm away. Chris watched Jojo for 7 nights while I was on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. He sends the best photos, takes Jojo for great walks and provides excellent communication during the sit. My house was just as I'd left it upon my return. I look forward to continuing to work with Chris. Thank you!!
Sarah watched my sometimes leash reactive dog for 7 nights while I was away on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. I felt completely at ease while traveling, due to Sarah's professionalism, amazing communication, and the way she clearly connects with and understands Jojo pup. It's such a pleasure to work with Sarah.
Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!
We were repeat clients booking Adrianne and couldn’t be happier! Our large and playful dog was well taken care of, with everything happening on time and great communication. Loved getting all the updates and pictures, and we came home to a clean house and happy dog. She clearly also supported the dog training efforts we’re trying to stick to, and was comfortable with a big strong dog for a long weekend. Would recommend & book again!
Alix was so communicative and reliable! Even when I was dealing with flight delays and difficulties scheduling my trip, I felt safe leaving my dog Sam with her. And Sam clearly loves Alix! My dog escaped out my door to try and greet Alix when she returned my keys.
