4. Grace G.

“Grace went above and beyond to take care of my dog. My dog is timid and shy, and Grace showed extra compassion and patience making sure she was comfortable. I highly recommend hiring Grace for your pet needs! ❤️”


5. Olesia A.
“Olesia took care of my hamster and my cat while I was away on a business trip for two weeks. She visited my pets every day. The pets were satisfied. Olesia made sure the hamster cage was securely locked, and everything was taken care of. The cat needed to be fed once a day and brushed every three days, and she handled this excellently! She also sent videos and photos of playing with the pets or how they were sleeping peacefully, always stayed in touch, and I was confident that my pets were in good hands. I wish Olesia good luck and can recommend her as a great sitter.”

7. Patrice W.


“Patrice was great. My dog was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy his long weekend with Patrice. She's a dog lover and I'd definitely use her services again.”


8. Shannon L.
“Shannon is wonderful with pets! She’s owned dogs since she was a kid and has been a great pet sitter to our friend’s Shiba Inu on multiple occasions. She’s patient and loving with every dog she meets. Shannon also taught me how to walk a dog and clean after it as I’m someone who’s never owned a dog.”




9. Pablo V.


“I have been using Pablo for over a year consistently twice weekly for dog walks. He is always highly reliable, flexible, responsive, and takes the best care of my dog. I was highly skeptical about using a dog walking service for the first time but I could not have gotten a better walker. I am so thankful for Pablo taking such genuine care of my dog.”


10. Jessie C.
About: I love all dogs and miss my childhood dogs, so I would be honored and thrilled to “borrow” your dog while you’re away :). I got my first dog, a golden retriever 12 years ago when she was a puppy. With her, I have experience with very playful, cuddly, young, big, and active dogs. My family got a second dog from a rescue program, a chihuahua/terrier mix 5 years ago when she was about 2 years old already. With her, I have experience with more reserved, high maintenance, small and skittish dogs. She has taught me patience and admiration for dogs that have been through a lot. Both of my childhood dogs are complete opposites in size and behavior, but both are so sweet and loved. I think this prepares me to take care of any type of dog. In addition, I have spent a year on Rover taking care of others’ dogs on walks, drop-in visits, daycare, house-sitting, and boarding in the past. I’m currently working from home during the week, and with few meetings to attend. Because I’m mostly working on individual work, I have plenty of free time during the day to go on walks, play, feed, and take care of dogs. Really looking forward to filling my free time with caring for others’ dogs :) I live in a building that is very dog friendly. Your dog could play with other friendly dogs taking their bathroom breaks at the same time, or I could take them across the street to a large open park if you prefer your dog not interact with others. My apartment has hardwood floors and is clean and wide-open. Plenty of room to play and roam around without worrying about getting into trouble. If I’m stopping in your home, you can expect to find it cleaner than you left it :)


11. Maureen S.
“Maureen is a wonderful pet caregiver! She is always so kind and thoughtful when caring for my pup, and he absolutely adores her! She is great about giving him the attention and snuggles that he wants, and really pays attention to his wants and needs when she watches him. I would highly recommend her to care for anyone's pet!”


12. Anastasiia M.

“Anastasiia is great! She was very communicative when setting up the walks. She gave a very detailed report with lots of pictures. I definitely feel safe leaving my little guy with her. I also plan on rebooking her as well :)”


13. Zel Z.
“Zel loooooves dogs! When she had to say goodbye to her beloved Pupcake, she started taking dogs from Anti-Cruelty for walks almost every day. From there it was slumber parties and then full on fostering dogs in her home from Chicago Canine Rescue, One Tail at a Time, or Border Tails Rescue.”


14. Abenet M.

“Abenet takes such fantastic care of my dog, Poppy! She is very accommodating and is available to adjust the schedule very easily when needed. She’s very reliable and communicative, and I know my dog is taken care of with Abenet while I am at work. I highly recommend Abenet!”


15. Nate W.

“Nate did such a fantastic job walking my active yellow labrador. He went on a long walk with him, incorporated a bit of jogging and provided thorough and continuous updates by sending pictures and videos. Highly recommend!”


16. Jessica F.

“Jess is exactly what I was looking for when searching through Rover! She’s considerate, dependable, reliable and puts my mind completely at ease when I know she’s with Monte. Im beyond thrilled that I found her. I truly appreciate the message acknowledging her arrival and subsequent pics of my pup. I would book her again in a heartbeat 💗”


17. Emilly A.

“Emily has been walking Franklin for 3 months now. She’s great with him as a rescue: gentle, patient, kind and communicative if something seems “off.” Franklin is very happy with her. She puts my mind at ease knowing he is well cared for.”


18. Ana B.

“Ana is fantastic! She got to know Cookie before her first walk, and made sure she was ready to go. I appreciated her communication before the walks to let me know when she would be there, and of course the report cards. I highly recommend Ana, she is very friendly, and most importantly, Cookie loved her!”


19. Iris H.

“Iris is very caring and takes great care of my dog! She is also very flexible!”


20. Nicole V.
“Nicole has been a trusted bonus "family" member. Very reliable and trustworthy. Has been hired last minute and booked for future pet setting. She has come for pet setting during the day and evening, and has stayed overnight for longer stretches. She has done light housesitting, collecting mail and informing me of any important mail or special deliveries. I appreciate her detailed updates and funny photos. Working with her makes being away from Dinky easy, because I know my pet is in great hands. More importantly my dog likes and loves her. Would highly recommend others to hire her.”
