The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

It's very simple I LOVE DOGS!

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore dogs, and my buddy Ripley can vouch for that! I've always had a furry friend by my side, and living in a dog-friendly neighborhood makes it even better. With the lakefront and park just a stone's throw away, there are endless opportunities for fun and exploration. People often call me a dog whisperer because I have a knack for making dogs feel comfortable. Ripley is super excited to meet you, and I promise you'll have a great time playing around the house with him, sharing the couch, and if he really takes a liking to you, he might even show you some dance moves. Here, it's all about the dogs!

Mikey is the kindest, most reliable sitter we’ve had the pleasure of finding on Rover. As long as he’s in Chicago, he will forever be our dog’s #1 pick.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
