“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”

“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”

“Here’s a review you can leave for Jenna on the Rover app: We can't thank Jenna enough for taking such great care of our dog, Lola, while we were away for a family funeral. She went above and beyond, sending us daily pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind during a difficult time. When we missed our flight and needed to extend Lola's stay, Jenna was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which was a huge relief. Lola clearly loved her, and we could tell she was in the best hands. Jenna is sweet, reliable, and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will definitely be using her services again!”


“Our senior dog was not feeling well when she arrived as she was quite nervous and it gave her a nervous stomach. Steven and his wife were so loving and caring for her. She came back, not nervous at all and completely healed after two days! We will definitely use them again.”

“Ksenia took great care of Lola while we were on vacation! This was our second time working with her and she provided updates and gave Lola the care and attention she needed. Thanks so much, Ksenia!”

“Erin and Eunjin were amazing!!! Some of the best rovers we’ve ever had. They were so communicative, sent so many cute pictures and updates and our dog seemed to be having the best time. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!! It was such good peace of mind knowing our dog was in amazing hands while we traveled. Thank you both!”

“Christina is amazing with my baby girl Cocoa!! As soon as we turn the corner, Cocoa cant contain her excitement to reach Christina’s home. I get a bunch of updates and cuddly pics while I’m away (they’re great but I get fomo!!!) lol”

“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”

“Beata and her husband were absolutely amazing with Dooly. They took care of him like he’s their own, sent me multiple pictures throughout his stay, and had a lovely time with him. He absolutely adores them!”

“Remi went on so many adventures and had so much fun! I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home with me. I already booked another stay and will 100% use in the future to come! Thanks for taking care of my baby moose!”

“We moved to Chicago a year ago from Milwaukee and used our sitter there before. It is too time consuming to travel to Milwaukee to take Lily to her sitter before our trips, so we decided to find one in Chicago. We booked Irene through Rover based on her excellent reviews. We decided to let them get to know Lily before we leave her with them for our long travel at the end of this month. It worked very well. I met Ronnie when we left and picked up Lily. He is a very nice person and I can tell he loves dogs very much. Irene and Ronnie treated Lily like their own. They sent her pictures frequently. We can tell that Lily was happy there with Irene and Ronnie. Hopefully her longer stay will work as well even better. We highly recommend them.”

“Julia was great! She always had great communication, easy to coordinate drop off and pick up and it is clear that she put care and attention into taking care of our pup! Thank you Julia!”

“Ann had kept my 2 dogs at least 3 times this year and she is the absolute best. My pups love her, she has so much experience, and I never have to worry about something happening or going wrong when they are with her. On top of that she is very kind, compassionate and flexible. Can’t wait for our next stay!”

“John and Ryan were amazing! They were great communicators, sent lots of updates, and Muesli seemed so happy to be with them. Highly recommend and will use again!”

“Cecile was great with Amiga and took wonderful care of her. She responded almost immediately to my texts and made me feel comfortable leaving Amiga with her for over a week. I would definitely recommend Cecile and will bring Amiga to her again.”

“Barbara is a great dog sitter! Kaiser had a wonderful time with her. She was always in touch, kept us updated, and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Our precious Dolly had another wonderful stay with Taylor. She’s great! She sent us pictures every day and went above and beyond while we were on a trip. We highly recommend Taylor - the best is that Dolly was so happy to see her and that gave us such peace of mind!

Fred was very communicative and took wonderful care of my dog. When I picked her up, it was clear that she had been comfortable, happy, and well cared for during her stay. He provided regular updates throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend him and would absolutely book with him again.

Steven and his wife were wonderful! Miller came home tired, happy, and clearly had the best time. Steven kept me updated throughout the few days he watched Miller and even sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Miller went on so many walks, which is absolutely his favorite thing to do, so he was truly living his best life! I would highly recommend Steven and his wife to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their dog. We will be rebooking!

This was the second time Reuben stayed with Julia, and she is fantastic. She sends daily updates and photos, and gave updates about their day and how Reuben was settling in. Julia even did some training while Reuben was with her. He came home tired and happy! I highly recommend Julia for your stays!

Ahh Kaira was THE BEST to work with and to have watch my dog. I can't believe he ate while there! Goes to show how comfortable Phoenix was in her home. Great communication, she asked clarifying questions instead of assuming anything🙌🏽 and sent photos and gave updates each day. So glad we found her and will use her again for dog sitting any time she's available! 10🌟

This was our first time having Dora and Ben board our dog, and they were the best sitters we’ve found on Rover yet! They paid close attention to detail, carefully reviewed her care instructions, and closed the loop to make sure we were all on the same page. We also loved getting 4–8 photos a day, which gave us a great sense of how she was doing and what her stay looked like. When our dog got into some of their food while they were out at dinner, they let us know right away and handled it calmly and kindly, even though she made a mess. They reassured us they’d keep a close eye on her and contact us immediately if they had any concerns or thought she needed veterinary care. We felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for. She was definitely spoiled, and we’d love to book with them again if they’ll have us!

Amanda was wonderful! My dog Gina can be a bit of a handful, she is older and a very nervous little dog, but Amanda took such great care of her. She gave daily updates with photos, and I could tell when Gina came home that she thrived in her care. I would recommend Amanda to anyone and would have her watch Gina again!

Emily was amazing! She took wonderful care of our yellow lab, Pancake, while I was out of town for a week. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with, and I felt completely at ease knowing Pancake was in her care. I would absolutely book Emily again and highly recommend her!
