“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
About: Thanks for checking out my profile. I've been caring for cats and dogs my whole life; 17 animals over the years. I currently have 2 well socialized doggies and 1 adult cat. I am also fostering 2 kittens. I love my little snuggle buttons and am constantly training, playing, petting, and caring for my animals. I would love my animals to be well socialized with many animals so thought Rover would be a great option for that. Also, I'm 10 weeks pregnant so I'm looking for things I love to do that I can do out of my home and I am biologically wired to provide snuggles right now! I work a 3-5 hour shift at my med spa, 3 to 5 days per week. I generally wake around 8, do breakfast for everyone, work from home for an hour, take the doggies for a walk, do kitten playtime, leave for work between 12-3, get everyone snack/treats, doggies get a second walk around 4:30, then I am home for the rest of the evening. I do dinner for myself and the animals, playtime, and then last chance for snacks. The animals sleep in my room with me, we love to snuggle! I love that the animals have each other to interact with even while I'm at work. We do not use any crates. I provide 4 bowls of double purified water so there is no risk of anyone going thirsty. I am a nurse so more than capable of following any feeding or medication regimens you may need. I am very big on socializing my animals. I encourage them to be vocal and friendly. My cat Jon Snow has over 50 distinctive vocalizations. To keep myself fit I do two dog walks per day, about an hour and 20 min total at a leisurely pace. I am steps away from Doug Lindberg park so we walk past ducks, otters, herons, and lots of other doggies (although I keep my distance since I don't know vaccine history or temperament). I have a 6 ft fenced in yard and let the dogs out frequently when it's sunny.
“One of the best experiences I have had for my Tuffy. Svitlana was absolutely amazing. Took great care of my girl and sent me numerous photos and videos. Such a kind lady who definitely takes care of each guest as one of her own! Thank you Svitlana, I will be reaching out again when I need it!”
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! She cares for our puppy weekly but had him for a very long weekend and provided some many great updates and even when our guy was anxious - she was so attentive!!! The best of the best.”
“Kyle was amazing! Super accommodating with our schedule and kept in touch daily to make sure we knew Daisy was doing well. Sent pictures and videos too so our vacation was spent relaxing instead of worrying!”
“This is our first time leaving our 8 months old puppy at someone else's house. We were a little anxious, but Michelle was very professional and caring. She was flexible, very prompt in her responses and took care of our dog very nicely. Our puppy came back home happy. Thank you Michelle!”
“We trusted Julio with our golden retriever while out of town for a week. We received many smiling photos of our pup assuring us she was in great hands. Julio is nice to work with and we’ll be boarding with him again.”
About: I’ve been a hands-on dog owner for the past 5 years and currently have a Labrador Retriever, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need to thrive. Through raising my own dog, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing changes in behavior or mood. In addition, I’ve pet sat a puppy for two weeks, providing consistent care, supervision, and plenty of patience during an important developmental stage. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and rest periods to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. Since I already care for my own dog, adding another pet into my routine is seamless, and I make sure each pet receives individualized attention and care. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection, and I make sure pets are introduced slowly and safely if needed. Clean water, a tidy space, and regular updates to owners are always a priority.
“Deidre is excellent as a dog sitter and overnight dog watcher. She takes a very personal approach both with the pet owner and the pet itself and has a great dog river that played with my Frankie all the time. I strongly recommend Deidre for any of the need you might have for your pet”
“Our dog Luna absolutely loved staying with Ewa! She got lots of attention and enjoyed socializing with other dogs. We also appreciated Ewa’s flexibility when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Luna’s stay. This was Luna’s second boarding with Ewa and we will be back again!”
“Logan was an OUTSTANDING sitter for our sweet Stella! She took great care of her and was incredibly communicative to us! Will use Logan for as long as she’ll have us!”
“Dartagnan was great at taking care of Axel. When I first met him for a meet and greet, I could tell he was knowledgeable about dogs. One thing I really liked was that he is always quick to address any mischievous behaviors that comes from too much excitement. He also sent me daily photos, which was reassuring. As someone who used to dog sit on Rover, I have high expectations. Dartagnan and his partner have exceeded them. Will definitely book with them again the next time I’m out of town.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.
“Kim is always great with our little dog Winston. She provided walks, a large yard for him to run around in, and lots of pictures and updates. Winston loves being spoiled there.”
“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.”
“I am delighted to provide a well-deserved five-star review for Diana who cared for Luna. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt loved and comfortable during her stay. Diana’s reliability and excellent communication made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“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 ❤️”
“We would highly recommend Shalyn and Joe to anyone looking to have their dog looked after. They responded promptly to any concerns we had and we received daily photos and updates on how our Pixie was doing.”
Long Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Logan was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our three cats for three days and two nights. Logan is very patient and nurturing with pets. She gave us daily updates and sent adorable pictures. She’s very responsible and is amazing with animals. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
We had a wonderful experience with Balaji. We needed a sitter for our two week international trip and were nervous because this was our one-year-old toy poodle's first time being away from us. From the very beginning, Balaji reassured us that our dog would be well cared for. He even offered a short trial stay at his home so our dog could become familiar with the environment before the boarding stay. During that two hour trial stay, Balaji sent us photos and videos, which gave us confidence that our dog was comfortable and in good hands. Throughout the two week boarding period, Balaji sent multiple photos and videos every day, allowing us to see that our dog was comfortable and receiving good care. He was also very responsive and replied to our messages very quickly. Knowing that our dog was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Balaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
We couldn't have been happier with the care our two Shih Tzus received during their 9-day stay. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates. Yuliia sent adorable photos and videos almost every day, along with the sweetest comments about what the dogs were doing and how they were settling in. It meant so much to us while we were away and really helped us feel connected to them. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.
Cecilia was absolutely incredible with our dog, Ollie! From the moment we met Cecilia, it was clear how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She treated Ollie with so much gentleness and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were away. One of the things we appreciated most were the frequent updates, photos, and check-ins — it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. You can truly tell Cecilia loves animals and goes above and beyond for them. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough!
Jessie and Jeeps (her dog) were fantastic! She was accommodating with our dogs routine and walked him many times each day. She was extremely communicative and sent many pictures which made me as a dog mama feel so much more comfortable using rover for the first time. Highly recommend Jessie to watch your pups!
Kyle was great with our dog, Governor, even taking him for walks in single-digit temperatures. Governor has very smelly ears because he's waiting to see a specialist for treatment of persistent ear infections that our vet's prescriptions can no longer do any good for. Before booking, I asked Kyle if this would bother hm and he said he'd be fine with it, which we appreciated.
Stephanie is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My pup is high anxiety and didn't do well at those fancy pet resorts. Stephanie made sure he was well cared for while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. She asked that I write down his daily routine so she can closely stick to his schedule. She also sent daily updates and photos to ease my mind knowing how tough it was for me to be away for a long period. Knowing she is studying to be a veterinary assistant was icing on the cake. My pup definitely loved spending time with her and was attached to her warm and caring personality from the very beginning. I highly recommend booking her for all of your pet sitting needs. I will definitely book her again!
This was Theodore’s first time staying with someone new, and Debi made it an excellent experience. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Theodore came back happy and relaxed - clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Debi again!
