“We definitely recommend Diane! She is warm, inviting and sensitive to our dog's needs. She kept in touch with us to let us know that all was going well. It is obvious that she cares for dogs a great deal!”
“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ella took great care of our dog Sid! She’s very warm and clearly loves dogs. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the photo updates while we were away. Sid was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“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.”
“EXTRAORDINARY! That is the only word I can use to describe my Sophie’s experience with Andrea and her family. Andrea cared for my aging Bassett Hound for 8 days. Sophie is a “special needs dog” in that she has one eye, has glaucoma in the other and is skittish. Andrea administered eye drops and coaxed her into walking outside when Sophie prefers to sleep the day away. Even Andrea’s children took time to sit with Sophie and from all the pix I received it was evident that she had become part of the family. We really appreciated that Andrea’s son bicycled to my son’s house to pick up additional meds for Sophie. It was obvious that Sophie was very comfortable with Andrea and I would gladly leave her with Andrea again. She is truly the best pet sitter Sophie has ever had.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for the past 15 years of my life. I absolutely adore them and looking for more opportunities to take care of them! I am available most of the time as I am on maternity leave and would have plenty of time to ensure your pet gets the care and exercise it needs. I will take your dog on long walks and ensure that they are comfortable at my home. My home is very safe and uncluttered. You pet would have plenty of space to roam around and play with toys. My neighbourhood is also very safe, quiet, and peaceful.
“Heather is wonderful & took great care of Scout. She was really responsive and sent multiple updates. Scout enjoyed his time with her & her family & is looking forward to his next stay.”
“We were reluctant to board our dog for such a long time (5days), but we were in good hands with Raagini. She did an Awesome job and kept us updated daily on our dogs stay. Will definitely bring our dog back for future boarding!”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“This was my first long trip away since getting Clifton and I was so lucky to find Jeff and Ron. They gave great updates and took great care of Clifton. I picked him up and he was happy and calm! Will not hesitate to send Clifton back for a stay.”
“We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your exceptional care of my anxious dog while we were on vacation. It was a relief knowing you kept him comfortable and safe, especially with his anxiety. We also really appreciated you keeping him separate from your cat due to my daughter's allergies – it showed a real dedication to his well-being and consideration for my family. The updates and photos you sent were so reassuring. Thanks again for going above and beyond! Will definitely take Cody back on our next vacation😊”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“We were last minute, and new customer for her. She handled us, and our pups perfectly! Plenty of pics/updates on how they were doing. We’ve been through a few sitters on here, and Alicia ranks right up there with the best. Thank you.”
“Cindy, thank you for taking such amazing care of Bruno. It truly feels like he’s with another family when he’s with you. We really appreciate all the love, walks, and care you give him.. You are amazing ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Bluff
Kelly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Quincy! Quincy has an eye condition that requires an eyedrop every night before bed, and Kelly not only administered it every night but also messaged us afterward to let us know it was done, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, we received plenty of photos and videos, and Quincy got to play with Kelly’s dog, Maggie, every day. Maggie is truly the sweetest little host! We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!
