“Nia is great! She took wonderful care of my elderly cat and dog while I was traveling for the holidays. I received plenty up pictures and check-in updates. I was very at ease knowing my pets were being cared for by Nia. I would absolutely trust Nia to watch my pets again.”
“Emily has sat for my cat multiple times and is always on time and easy to reach! He warmed up to her right away and I felt at ease during my trip knowing she was there. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Maya is the best! Maya took care of my sweet prince for the first time over the weekend and everything was perfect! All instructions were followed and they kept in constant contact with me. Wonderful dog sitter! I trust Maya with my dog 100% and will be having them dog-sit my dog from now on whenever I have to leave town. Maya is the best!”
“Alison took such great care of my pup and cat while I was away! She went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, and sent the perfect number of updates. The pets were both clearly very comfortable with Alison, and we've already booked another stay for the next time I'm out of town.”

“This is the second time I booked Alina to house sit my cat, and she really is the best! I had an unexpected family emergency and reached out to Alina since I trust her so much after the first time she sat my cat. Even though she had other commitments and it was last minute, she still found a way to make time to take care of my cat, for which I am so grateful. It gave me so much peace of mind since she treats my cat like her own and is so attentive and caring and sent updates with pictures and videos that warmed my heart during a difficult time. I came home to a very happy cat, who was well fed and got so much play and cuddle time in while I was gone. Thank you, Alina!”
“Tony was great! The animals were extremely happy and well taken care of! We will definitely be using Tony again for future house sittings!”

“Victoria was awesome. Super lovely and attentive. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We left our pup with Pablo for another long weekend and once again we are so happy with Pablo. Ajax just adores him and our house is kept in such great condition when he’s out. We get plenty of updates with pictures throughout the day and Ajax is plenty tired when we see him! We’ll definitely be calling Pablo on our next trip.”
“Nicole was the best sitter for my 4 month chihuahua! She is super responsive and communicative. You can just tell she loves animals. During our meet and greet, she was very informative and patient as our pup warmed up to her. Unfortunately day of he ended up getting an eye infection but she was a total pro and offered him lots of comfort while we were away. She also comforted us because she kept us updated via text with photos! I would 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Jasmine took great care of our dog, Koji, while Koji was a little sick and we had to be out of the house over the weekend. Jasmine came on time, even when we needed her early in the morning, and proactively took Koji on walks every few hours to ensure she had relief from her upset tummy. Koji was happy and relaxed when we came home after spending the day with Jasmine! I’d highly recommend her.”

“Trisha was great with our Ollie! He is an active puppy going through the teething phase and she patiently helped him along by providing chew toys, peanut butter Kongs and ice cubes. We also appreciated that she picked up on his cues when he wanted to go out, which helped us along with potty training him. It was clear that he had her full attention over the weekend we were away. When we returned home, Ollie was his usual happy and playful self and our kitchen was spotless with all of his items clean and ready to use again. We look forward to having Trisha watch Ollie again!”
“James was a great Rover! He took care of our dog and cat as well as watched our house. He gave us regular updates about how they were doing throughout the stay.”

During my time away, Zach sent me lots of photos and videos which I appreciated. And he left my condo near and tidy! I truly could not ask for a better experience.”

Near North Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was amazing! She took care of our cat and dog like they were her own — insanely thorough, super communicative, and just a total pro. We felt completely at ease the whole time knowing our pets were in such great hands. She was also really respectful of our home and super flexible, which made everything even easier. The daily pics, videos and overall communication was perfect! . Couldn’t recommend her more!
Jess was amazing! She took great care of both dogs and left the apartment in fantastic shape. She is super communicative and I'm happy to have her taking care of the dogs again soon!
Haley was great with Harley and sent photos each day. She left my house tidy and followed care instructions for the weekend. Thanks again!
Once again, Alison was a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs. We especially enjoyed her daily photos and updates. We’ll definitely use her again!
Brittney is an extremely professional, kind, and caring dog sitter for our sweet boy. Would recommend her to anyone looking for any dog sitting needs.
Ben is one of the best Rovers we have ever had. He followed instructions very well and was very communicative. Our cat adored him and she can be a little suspicious of new people. He also left the house incredibly clean. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to care for Stella again.
He has been the best caregiver I ever found. I highly recommend him, 100% trustworthy, kind, and loving.
Morgan did a great job!! Communication was quick and easy from start to finish. We LOVED all the photo updates and I feel supremely confident that our pup was well cared for. Would absolutely book with Morgan again and recommend her to others!!
I came home to a happy dog, which I alway the most important 🙂. On top of that, Erin was communicative with me and clearly attentive to my pup. I will definitely work with her again, if possible!!!
We use Rover frequently and Kelly is one of the best sitters we have ever had. She constantly sent update photos (each time our dog was smiling so big) and she left our home cleaner than we did! We were so so impressed and hope to have her come back to sit for our pup again in the future!
Luke is a fantastic dog sitter! Before the booking, Luke asked questions about the job and came over to meet my dog and to review information from a document I prepared. Luke is reliable and responsible. Luke also responded quickly to communication and sent photos as updates!
I had to book her last minute and she accommodated us. She took great care of my fur baby. She really went above and beyond for us. Definitely a great sitter!
Meg did a great job caring for Fiona and maintaining her regular walking/feeding schedule while I was away for the weekend. Meg also did a great job communicating her schedule to me throughout the day. She left the house clean, which is always nice to come home to after a trip.
Samantha was great! Responsive, communicative, prompt, and great with our dog Lily! Would recommend fully!
Clare took amazing care of our house and pups. She sent photos without us even asking and provided updates along the way. We have a dog who is an anxious pup and takes time warming up to new people and he warmed up to Clare right away. Highly recommend her in terms of gentle care with dogs and their different temperament and for her care of our place. She is our new go to!
Patrick was a great sitter! Communication was excellent and we felt very comfortable knowing our 2 cats were taken care of. We will continue to use him for future needs.
Ashlyn did such a great job taking care of fur babies. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and she sent me pics to keep me updated. My dogs seemed happy the whole time and my house was left cleaner than I left it. Ashlyn was also super accommodating to my changing schedule. I can’t recommend her enough!
Parker did a great job with Fozzie! We received clear, consistent communication, which gave us confidence that Fozzie was being well cared for. We would definitely book Parker again!
Elliott was great! My anxious beagle, who is both recovering from spinal surgery and adjusting to a new city, can be a handful and Elliott handled him beautifully, from rehab walks to meds to keeping up with new command training. He was super respectful of the household, calm, and friendly. Exactly the pet sitter I hoped to find!
