“Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.”

“Mary was wonderful staying at my home with my dog Maple. She checked in with pictures and updates and handled some anxiety and accidents Maple had really well. Would definitely recommend Mary!”

“Jade is great! We can’t wait to have her take care of our dog Maya again. Jade was very understanding and accommodating as was the first time we had someone other than family or friends watch Maya. I would recommend her to anyone on Rover.”

“Ashton was great. It was a last minute booking and she was able to squeeze in a meet and greet and then complete the stay within a two-day period. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on the pets and ongoing construction work that was happening on our property as well.”
“Gabe was communicative and kind and caring with estella, she had an unexpected upset tummy and they went above and beyond to take care of her. I hope to work with Gabe longterm.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”


About: 🐾 I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I started dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors when I was 10. When I got my own dog at 14, I fell in love with training and taught her over 20 tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and owners, and I’ve been lucky to receive referrals from people who trust me with their dogs. I love making sure dogs are not just cared for, but genuinely happy and engaged. Whether that’s walks, playtime, enrichment games, training practice, or just giving them lots of attention and affection, I always try to match each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always want them to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I truly look forward to every day. I’m also studying Animal Science, which has made me even more passionate about animal care and behavior. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort levels, and I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Olga & Natalia were amazing. The daily pictures and updates let us fully relax and enjoy our vacation. Our place was just as we left it. Couldn’t recommend them enough, and will definitely re-book for our next vacation!”

“Michael was excellent taking of our dog Scout (large lab/huskie mix) and our home. He kept us up to date including entertaining pics of Scout summaring their day. Great communication and care for our dog. Would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Marykay did the best she could with our grumpy cat who doesn't like to get his medicine from anyone but his mama! She was a good sport despite getting snubbed the whole time she was there. We appreciate that our cats weren't lonely while we were away!”

“Sarah was wonderful with our quirky and sometimes reactive dog. He warmed up to her right away and she took great care of him while we were away. She was reliable and timely and we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a house/dog sitter while they are away.”

“Karina saved me when I waited until the last second to get a house and dog sitter. Sent photos of the pups while I was gone, maintained good and sufficient contact, and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone!”

“Alex is amazing. She is very communicative and made us feel incredibly at ease while we were gone. She took great care of our dog as well as our home. Would absolutely use her again.”

“This was our first time having Sarah, she offered to come meet Archie ahead of her stay and was very patient with our anxious and energetic dog! With her stay she sent us updates and pics while she was with him. We would definitely book with Sarah again!”


“Margaret was a wonderful sitter for our pup! She took her on a couple walks, played with her and gave her ample belly rubs, which she so adores. It’s clear she was well loved and cared for and we would certainly have Margaret back again!”

“Sophia was amazing! She provided such kind and thorough care for my anxious rescue dog! I had peace of mind during my trip knowing my dog was well cared for.”

“Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.”

Near North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lydia was great, took our request last minute and was really easy to work with in coming to see the house and meet the pets. Lydia was easy to communicate with on our trip and made it easy to be away. We came home to a well taken care of place and happy pets. We will connect with Lydia again for pet and house sitting.

This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous at the thought of leaving my dog with someone he/I didn’t know but McKenna was the BEST person I could have booked. We did a meet n greet and from the first interaction it is clear she absolutely loves doing this. She is so personable with both animals and humans. All my worries completely went out the window! She provided updates, photos, and communication about anything that came up. My boy had a less than ideal grooming issue crop up and she offered to take him in for an appointment and did so happily! She also left my place super clean, which allowed me to soak in all the time with my dog upon my return. Definitely will be booking her again!!

Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.
