“Fantastic dog sitter! I picked up my poodle after a week and I can tell he had a great time and was very happy. Alejandra sent me photos every day and her entire family was enthusiastic to host my dog for the week and was involved. Great sitter!”



“I don't want to tell everyone how great Arelys is, because I want her to be available for us in the future! Her home is so welcoming to dogs, and Ilsa is a sweetheart. Arelys is so good with animals, and took very detailed care of my girl. I think my dog is already hoping to come back for another stay!”


“The absolute best! Jordan cared for our Bowie and especially our Senior Lola with the utmost care and attention. He was amazing with both dogs and we will use him again without question.”


“Gus and Gertie had a great time with Mama D! They made new friends and she even taught them to walk down the stairs. Deidre updated me with many videos and photos which eased my anxiety of leaving the puppies with someone for the first time. We will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you Deidre!”



“Thank you Jayne, for looking after Alley so well. She was a very happy dog when we picked her up. We will definitely be using your services again the next time we are out of town. You provided a great home away from home experience for Alley. The regular photos and videos were very reassuring. Thank you again.”


“Great communication, one of my dogs is quirky and she was very patient with him. She has a beautiful large fenced in yard for animals to run around and play. They had a wonderful time staying the week.”


“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”


“Melody was so awesome! Very responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos of our pup while we were gone. We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”

“Lorena was great! My dog becomes very anxious when she knows I am leaving town and with Lorena being so welcoming and knowing how to work with anxious dogs it was a perfect match. My dog did great, she felt comfortable and did not have any issues. Lorena also responded quickly when I reached out and sent me pictures of my dog easing my mind. I will definitely use Lorena again.”


“Diana was great with my retriever Penny. Wasn't sure how it would go since Penny is a rescue with separation anxiety and I've only left her once with a sitter, in my house. But Diana was super understanding and patient with her. Good sized back yard that Penny loved to run around in and play catch, and Penny seemed quite comfortable with them when I picked her up. Would absolutely board with her again.”

Lynett S.
“I can’t recommend Lynett S. enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my pets. Lynett has watched, walked, and played with my Jack Russell terrier, Buddy, my Corgi, Stout, my Rat Terrier, Roo, my Border Collie, Gizmo, and my Pug, Harley. Every time I’ve had to leave town, I’ve been so at ease knowing that she’s looking after them. What's even more telling is how the dogs react when we pick them up—they’re always so happy and comfortable with her that they don’t even want to leave! Unlike other sitters, my dogs can’t wait to come back to Lynett’s care. It’s clear that she has a special connection with animals. Lynett’s love for animals extends beyond dogs—she’s also owned birds, fish, hamsters, and gerbils, so she’s experienced in caring for all types of pets. Her heart of gold, patience, and gentle nature make her an incredible choice for any pet parent. She’s responsible, caring, and trustworthy—any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter!”

“Dave is an amazing dog walker! He’s great with dogs, always reliable, and someone I can fully trust. My pup adores him, and I feel completely at ease knowing Dave is taking care of him. Highly recommend!”
Grayslake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Yolanda and her Husband are great. Hunter felt right at home and loved. They asked for suggestions when needed and assisted when I suggested hand feeding cuz hunter wouldn't eat. I was able to go camping and know hunter was being cared for like he was home with his momma. They even provided picture updates. Will definitely recommend and return.
