House Sitting in Irving Park, Chicago

“Caesar had the best time. She communicated well and extremely professional. I don’t even think my little guy misses me that much cause he was having a blast.”

“Maurice is phenomenal with our special needs and senior dog. He has a calm demeanor, which our dogs love. Definitely will work with Maurice again.”

“Katie was a great sitter for my dog and cat. While my dog loves people, my cat is normally very shy and will hide from people he doesn’t know. Katie was the cat whisperer, because within just a few hours, she managed to coax him out from his safe spot and had him rubbing up next to her for pets. I definitely recommend her.”

“Aleia was so wonderful taking care of our dog Milo! She was as super communicative, shared photos of their adventures together, and Milo loved her. Would definitely hire Aleia again!”

“Hannah was very helpful, kind and prompt in communication. She took real good care of Simba and kept us updated with pictures of our baby. We would love to avail Hannah’s furbaby sitting again.”

“Eve is a hardworking and caring young girl who loves animals almost as much as she loves children! She watched my two year old while she was a student and cared for our black lab, Bella, during that time as well. For over a year she was nothing but punctual and respectful. Love you, Eve!”

“Lillian was a great sitter for Roscoe while we were away. We had to change our plans last minute and she was super accommodating and professional. She followed instructions perfectly and it was clear she loved spending time with Roscoe and he was well taken care of. We will absolutely be using her again!”

“Miranda kind, professional, communicated well, and took great care of our needy dogs. She left the house as clean as we left it. I am booking her again right after I write this review.”

“Renae was very professional, relaxed, and easy to work with. She immediately understood the need at hand and was able to get our pup to relax after a bit even with severe separation anxiety kicking in after we left. She was in touch throughout the night and provided no stress for us making it at home just on time. Would definitely look forward to having her over to help take care of our little Regina George again hopefully soon!”

“It was clear from out first meet and greet that our dog Scout loved Clare! Clare stayed in our place and took care of the dog for five days and we came home to a healthy happy dog and a house just as we left it! Would definitely book with Clare again.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle! She watched our pup Nico in our home for 4 nights. She was highly communicative, sent us lots of photos and overall took great care of our boy. We were only meant to be away 3 nights and our flight home was cancelled at the last minute. Michelle was super flexible and had no issues staying with Nico an extra night. She definitely put us at ease! We would 100% work with her again :)”

“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”

“Lindsay was so nice and eased our worries with using a dog sitter for the first time. She kept us updated on how our dog was doing multiple times a day and followed our instructions to a T! Thanks Lindsay!”

“This was our first time leaving our pup for an extended amount of time. She’s a 70 lb dog from a shelter and has some behavioral issues we were concerned would be an issue. We let Anna know everything and she reassured us she had experience and was comfortable taking care of our dog. While we were gone, Anna sent updates and pictures consistently. She was super attentive and eased our concerns while we were away on our trip.”

“Vesryn is amazing. We had never left our dog-reactive dog with a sitter, and needed to travel across the country by plane. We met Vesryn and instantly felt at ease; she so clearly loves animals and is kind, funny, and patient. We were able to travel and she was regularly sending us updates and photos. Our dog doesn't always collaborate, and is a bit of a tough customer on walks (pulling, hunting rabbits, not liking other dogs) and Ves was a total pro. I think our dog misses her. We will absolutely be asking her to watch Primz again.”

“Thank goodness for Erik!! He took care of my sweet girl twice this month, the first time with very short notice, and I was so grateful that it let her stay in our home while I was away. He sent tons of photos and updates to make my nervous self feel better, he took her on tons of walks--he was absolutely a gem.”

“Khrystyna was AMAZING. We have 3 dogs and a cat that thinks she is a dog, it is a herd, each with unique personalities and she was wonderful with all of them, realizing each one’s Idiosyncrasies and letting them shine. We received pictures and texts every day, sometimes multiple times a day and when we came home, she had already run the dishwasher, stripped the bed and started the laundry. I look forward to having Khrystyna watching our herd the next time we go out of town.”

“We appreciate Katie so much for watching our two rambunctious pups during a mini weekend getaway our family took. We have a reactive dog that has tons of anxiety and paranoia on walks. Katie walked her with no issues and accommodated to her needs. Katie was communicative and sent us occasional pictures and status updates. We came back and our home was as we left it. Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter and has a doggo with specialized care.”

“Utilized Rover for the first time & Taiylor did a phenomenal job making me feel comfortable, & being flexible with such a last minute booking. Would book again!”

“Natalie was wonderful! She took such great care of my pup, left the house clean, and sent a ton of great pictures! We will definitely have her back.”
