“Kathleen was amazing as always! We received so many pics and videos of Archie on his many walks, eating, visiting neighbors (including his buddy Ron) and enjoying his friends Deion and Duke. We felt at ease our entire trip knowing Archie was having the best time and being well taken care of. Thank you so much for showing Archie so much love and your exceptional service.”
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”

“Our dogs were well taken care of over a weekend at Shannon and Steven's home! They were very communicative and based on all the photos, we know our dogs received the thing they crave the most = snuggles. We were thankful they were able to accomodate us in the mix with their 2x dogs. We'd definitely book with them again if Louie and Bess would allow it! ☺️”
“Sierra was most accommodating to my dog's anxiety levels and care needed. She was kind, patient and communicated well. She gave him some extra love by taking him to the dog park. We would hire her in the future.”
About: I had a dog myself when I was younger and often looked after neighbors and cousins dogs while they were out of town. I’m doing this because I like the company of an animal and will treat it well while it’s in my care I work full time and are away from my home approximately 8:15am to 7:30pm. I could be available for and later evening walk but my weekends generally to not have plans so I will be available for a lot more care during that time. I live in an apartment but there is open grass space in the complex and throughout the neighborhood. I would enjoy a long walk or visiting a nearby dog park with any pet.
“Pam was a great sitter. She sent pics and updated me during her stay. My baby Kali absolutely loved her and it was nice she had another dog to plan with as well. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Brad made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs for the week knowing they were in good hands with someone who enjoyed their company and was attentive to our dog who is scared during storms!”
“Krista was great. She sent us updates and photos throughout the week to let us know how things were going. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Geoff was an amazing sitter for Hank. Received daily updates with photos! Hank was so tired from all the walks and play time with Geoff he slept just about all day when I brought him home. Would definitely recommend Geoff and rebook in the future.”
“Tessa takes such great care of Leo! He is a senior hound; he takes daily medicines and has separation anxiety. Tessa does an awesome job of keeping him calm and happy. I always appreciate her daily updates!”
About: I've volunteered with animals since I was 14, and up until a year ago, I was running my own rescue. I began pet sitting to help pay vet bills for the strays I took in. I have specialized largely in neonatal and senior care, including administering medicine, facilitating special diets, and offering personalized enrichment (including socialization for ferals). I also fed, rehabilitated, vaccinated, and spayed street dogs while living in Mexico. I plan my schedule around the animals in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are my family. Handcrafting my pets' meals are the first and last task I do everyday, whilst providing a whole lot of love in the hours in-between. When I have a foster dog, the highlight of my day is the hour long walk when I get home from work. Ultimately, I'm extremely flexible and patient because I've come to learn that pets & strays don't operate on our human schedules, and each day I can dedicate to helping them thrive is a blessing. Currently, I live with my roommate in a sizable 2 bedroom apartment that has direct access to our large, fully fenced-in yard. I have two cats - both are chubby, spoiled to the max, and free roam the house. Pets can be kept separate easily if needed.
“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”

Autumn A.
“Autumn has taken care of my 2 cats (and sometimes additional fosters) for the last several years when I do trips back home. She does a wonderful job. It’s always nerve wracking to be away from my children and the only thing that puts my mind at ease is that they’re in the hands I trust most, other than my own. She always goes above and beyond when it comes to cleanliness, playtime, and mealtimes. My favorite thing about Autumn is her rescue work. I love that provides that same level of dedication and love for every animal she possibly can, not just her own pets and not just paying clients. It feels good to know supporting her simultaneously gives back to my community. Make sure you ask if you need any product recommendations for your cat, LOL. Before I met her, I’d never seen a house so full of pet toys and furniture. She really takes the idea of enrichment to another level. I’ve taken her up on several recommendations, all of which my cats have loved. If cared for by Autumn, I guarantee you would be treating your fur babies to a lovely time.”

Highland Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lucy & Matthew were amazing! They sent picture updates every morning and night, took my dogs on several walks a day, and were totally receptive to all my dogs quirks and craziness! Will definitely be using them in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter for their pups!
Liz has been a major asset to Auggie and us over the last 2 vacations. She certainly loves dogs but also understands dogs’ language beyond our expectations, while connecting and communicating with us, humans, promptly and efficiently. She sends beautiful pictures and perfectly measured daily updates of our dog’s vacation time (while we are on a different vacation). Will be so happy to have her host Auggie’s next vacation! Thank you, Liz!
10/10 would recommend! I was really nervous about leaving my 2 dogs since they both have separation anxiety. Also because both of my dogs can be dog aggressive. Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing! They sent photos and updates everyday. They made me feel like I wasn’t leaving my dogs with strangers. I would 100% use them again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My dog stayed for 7 days and was treated like part of the family. Rae walked Luna regularly, went on fun outings, and even got to join in on runs—which she loved! I received great updates and photos throughout her stay, so I always knew she was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she got plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thanks again, Rae! Cheers.

I highly recommend Natalia!!! She was wonderful with my high anxiety dog. She gave him lots of love, exercise, sent great pictures with updates a few times every day, and he was happy to play with her adorable dog. She let him sleep with her (which is how he sleeps at home) and we appreciate that. She was very flexible with the pick up time. I will absolutely ask her to watch Hudson again!!
Brad is hands down our favorite sitter we’ve used! If we travel we look at his calendar first. We have a senior dog with some challenges and medication. Brad is amazing at taking care of our older guy. He follows the instruction provided and gave me daily updates. I would highly recommend Brad if you get the opportunity!
breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.
