“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Orso. This was our first time ever leaving him, so we were definitely a little nervous — but Hannah made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. Orso loves everyone, but it was clear he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for with her. Coming home to a relaxed and content pup gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found Hannah and will absolutely be using her again!”

“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!”

“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”

“Jayne was great. She sent us multiple updates a day, including pictures. She was quick to respond. It was very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times. And our dog Conrad, seemed in great spirits when we picked him up.”

“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”

“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

About: Finalmente decidí de tener mi licencia de IL para mi compañía en cuidar perros y gatos en memoria de nuestra princesa Luna que falleció hace poco. En su honor seguiré cuidando a mascotas con el mismo amor y atención que ella tuvo en sus 15 años de vida 💕 Mi atención y tiempo siempre estará presente. Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas. También hay parques cercas de mi cuando el clima lo permita para ir a caminar.
“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”

“Michael and Janet have been wonderfully patient and compassionate with my two Chihuahuas, one of whom is elderly and has special dietary needs while the other is a rescue still getting acclimated. They took the time to win my dogs' trust, providing pets and outside time in a crate-free environment. I feel lucky to have found them!”

“Both my 6.5-year-old Vizsla and my 3-month old Vizsla LOVE going to stay with Chris and her family. My older guy starts to shake and jump with excitement when we turn on her street, and I was worried about leaving our new puppy at home; however, with Chris' excellent love and care, they both did great. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”

“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.”

“We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.”


“A++++ awesome experience. First time using Rover.com. I needed a place for a week -asap. One of my dogs sometimes can be aggressive. I spoke to Nikki who patiently answered all my questions and accommodated my dogs. They responded to messages quickly. I also received daily pictures. My dogs were very happy and calm when I picked them up. Actually calmer then they normally are. When we got home they both conked out. They need a vacation from their vacation lol. Denis and Nikki are great - So glad I found them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”

“Marta was a delight and I had no issues or concerns. Marta was very good at making sure everything went smoothly and keeping me current on how my dog Sandy was doing. Sandy is a very active Yellow Lab. It was also very clear to me that Sandy very muchg enjoyed playing with Marta's dog and Marta's daughter. I know that Sandy would enjoy a return visit and I would not hesitate asking Marta to sit for Sandy again.”

“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”

Mettawa dog parents share their Rover experiences
It was a pleasure connecting with Ellen and letting my dog (Olly) stay with her. She kept posting photos and updates regularly. Olly too got a partner to play with. I will always choose to go back to Ellen in future. I would recommend Ellen to any one in need. Thank you for taking care of Olly.
