“Kelsey visited my two kitties while I was away one weekend. She followed all the instructions and communicated really well with me before and during her visits. Loui and Lola seemed to warm up to her quickly. Reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely book Kelsey again!”
“Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!”
“Daniel took my guy on a generous long walk, and even brought him a friend to walk his (Daniel’s dog). Polite, respectful and right on time. Will be using Daniel again!”
“Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!”
“Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!”
“Molly has been awesome! I really appreciate her flexibility when I needed her to arrive a little early at the last minute one day. We'll definitely be keeping Molly on our list of sitters!”
“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Ellie was very communicative about how each visit went and showed pictures of how my cat was doing (which was generally being dramatic about my absence haha). She followed instructions very well and made sure my kitty was well taken care of (even if she would disagree about her presence lol) Overall Ellie is a fantastic sitter and I would book her again if I needed her :)”
“Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!”
“First time customer and it went perfect. PERFECT!!! Communication was great every day with pics of all our pets. We highly recommend Ash and we’re certain our cats and dogs do too. :-)”
“Kal was amazing with our three dogs (and garden)! They came beforehand to meet the pups and us, and get familiar with the situation, which gave us such peace of mind during our trip. Then communicated during their multi-daily visits with texts and pictures. We'll definitely be booking Kal again and would recommend them to local friends/family!”
“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”
“Thank you Selena for taking care of our two cats while we were abroad! We knew they would be well taken care of with you as always. And thanks for keeping our plants alive too! You are the best! I would leave a 10 star review if I could.”

Greater South Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison was absolutely fantastic! She was accommodating, personable, punctual, and wonderful with both my Yorkie and Persian cat. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel completely confident that my pets were in great hands. Her reports were thorough and detailed, and she sent plenty of photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She spent quality time playing with my pets, took my dog on walks, and clearly treated them with genuine care and affection. She also kept the house tidy and made sure pet bowls and feeding areas were always clean. Madison went above and beyond in every aspect of her care and truly exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.
Kelsey visited my two kitties while I was away one weekend. She followed all the instructions and communicated really well with me before and during her visits. Loui and Lola seemed to warm up to her quickly. Reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely book Kelsey again!
Sandra was excellent with our dogs. She handled their first visit in a calm and professional manner. Even though our two dogs were initially excited and barking a lot. By the time we got home Sandra and the dogs were like best friends. We would strongly recommend her.
William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.
