“Fantastic! I was worried about leaving Copper while I was traveling but Annie immediately put me at ease. Copper is usually hesitant around new people but immediately took to her. You can tell she is great with animals and a pet lover. She shared regular updates and photos so I knew everything was going well. Thank you!”

“Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊”


“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”


“Elizabeth was wonderful with my dog Nellie. She is on a few medications and it was no bother for her at all to go that extra mile for Nellie. Elizabeth has 2 wonderful dogs of her own who were very happy to play and entertain my dog. I will definitely use her again and will tell my friends about her as well.”

“Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!”

“Melody was AMAZING with our dog! Very quick communication throughout the whole booking/reserving process, and throughout the stay. We had numerous photos and updates, which made my anxiety about leaving Ginny much more bearable. Ginny was allowed to cuddle on furniture and beds, and was the only pet in the home, which is hard to find! I wouldn't think twice about booking Melody again to take care of our fur baby.”
“Elisa seems to be a devoted person who takes care of dogs with love. Thank you so much for taking care of the dog carefully so that he doesn't feel any separation anxiety for 2 nights and 3 days away from our family. Thanks again!!”

About: For the last 5 years I’ve been helping neighbors and friends babysit, walk, play, and feed their dogs. I love dogs and always feel so bad when they are cooped up at home all day! This summer I am walking 2 dogs, twice a day, 4 days a week in Chicago. I am able to take on more dog walking in between. I’m available for boarding on the weekends in northern Illinois. Typically Wednesday I am home all day in my home in lake county. I have a fully fenced in yard and live on a lake. There is so much room to run and play. I own a spayed, female standard poodle (60lbs). We love to play fetch as well as walk around the forest preserve.
“We’ve used Kim to watch our Vizsla a few times now and she’s been great every time! Very responsive communication and we really appreciate the update pictures/texts she sends. Thank you very much!”

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional care our 4-month-old Shih Tzu, Buca, received from Brianna during our recent vacation. From the moment we dropped Buca off, we knew she was in good hands. Brianna went above and beyond, treating Buca as if she were her own furry family member. The daily updates, complete with adorable pictures and videos, reassured us that Buca was not only safe but also having a blast. Brianna took the time to brush Buca daily, bought her toys, and even taught her a new trick! It was evident that Buca was showered with love and attention throughout her stay. We were pleasantly surprised when Brianna gifted us with a harness and leash for Buca to keep, showcasing her thoughtfulness and generosity. We are elated with the level of care Buca received and eagerly anticipate using Brianna for all our future vacations. Thank you for providing such a loving and nurturing environment for Buca!”


“Our dog Toto is a pitbull/mastiff mix. Ariana had absolutely no problem with our 70 pound baby. I received tons of pictures and updates. She was so amazing with our dog that I will defintely use her again. Cannot give her enough praise for how AMAZING she was. Toto loved every second of his visit. Thank you again!”

“Gage is amazing! This was only my second time using Rover and now I know I have a reliable dog watcher whenever I need. He took my dog on walks and to the dog park everyday and she got along so well with his dog at home. He responds immediately to messages and sends picture updates each day. I highly recommend him to watch your pup!”
“Had a last minute cancel of my usually dog sitter but Lorena was quick to respond, she watches <40lb dogs which my GSP is just under but she took her for the weekend was was amazing. The pics she sent of Lina looked good and happy!”

“This is the first time I have left my dog with anyone other than the Vet or family and Jennifer is amazing!!! Soo loving and kind! She knows so much about dogs and is a great communicator with pictures and updates every day!! I will absolutely use her again! So grateful to have found her!!”

“If you want your pet to feel like they are home - this is it. Can't say enaugh good things about Melissa. Not only she rescued me with last moment stay but gave my dog most amazing care!”

“Veronique took so great care of our Lola, we will definitely want Lola (Boxer Bosten Mix) have Lola in her care again in the future! We received updates woth little clips and pictures as well infos to her dog friends.”

Lake Villa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brianna was amazing with our little special needs older pup. He has medical needs, blind and overall high maintenance and Brianna treated him such TLC. In fact, she went above and beyond trying to find the right toys for him to keep him engaged. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Brianna.
